Sounding very similar to how Darren Lynn Bousman’s Mother’s Day kicks off comes ATM, which centers on three co-workers who — on a routine stop at an ATM — unexpectedly end up in a desperate fight for their lives. The Safran Co. and Gold Circle Films picked up the spec script by Buried writer Chris Sparling. David Brooks, who gained fame with his short “Gone”, will get behind the camera this fall. Paul Brooks (“A Haunting in Connecticut”) will also produce.

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.
