Ben Stiller in Talks (with a Cat and Dog?) for ‘The Voices’
It was revealed last night that writer Michael R. Perry’s spec feature script, The Voices, would be produced by Doug Davison and Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment (Quarantine, The Uninvited, The Ring, The Grudge) with Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) developing. The boys over at /Film posted a rumor that we have confirmed as 100% factual. “According to my information, Ben Stiller is up for the lead role of Jerry,” writes the site. Here’s the role: Jerry, a schizophrenic worker at a bathtub factory, accidentally kills an attractive woman from accounting. While trying to cover his bloody tracks, Jerry starts taking advice from his talking (and foul-mouthed) cat and dog. And yes, this once again gives me an excuse to use the I can had cheezburger? image. Life is good! Michael R. Perry is penning the Paranormal Activity sequel.
Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.
Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.
Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”
Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”
David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.
XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
