A huge panel of cast and crew from the awesome Behind The Mask was gathered for Creation’s Weekend of Horrors today in Los Angeles, including writer/director Scott Glosserman, and naturally talk of the long-awaited sequel came up.

Glosserman wanted to stress that the sequel was “far from a certainty”, but the script is written and everyone has given an oral agreement to come back, including Robert Englund. Glosserman told the crowd that what needs to happen is a “groundswell of communal support”, because they won’t be able to get financing without proof that there is interest/demand for a sequel. He mentioned possible “crowdfunding” as a means to “make a dent” in the budget, just to prove to financiers that this can be a successful project.

In the meantime, they have just launched a new Facebook page, where you can watch a new video of Leslie (Nathan Baesel) talking about what he’s been up to, as well as dropping some hints at what the sequel will be about (Glosserman says that it will deconstruct sequels, prequels, AND remakes!). So head on over and “like” the page to show support (Glosserman mentioned calling on the “Hatchet Army” to help out – represent, folks!) – let’s do what we can to get Leslie Vernon the sequel he deserves!

‘The Exorcism’ Trailer – Russell Crowe Gets Possessed in Meta Horror Movie from Producer Kevin Williamson

Russell Crowe (The Pope’s Exorcist) is starring in a brand new meta possession horror movie titled The Exorcism, and Vertical has unleashed the official trailer this afternoon.

Vertical has picked up the North American rights to The Exorcism, which they’ll be bringing to theaters on June 7. Shudder is also on board to bring the film home later this year.

Joshua John Miller, who wrote 2015’s The Final Girls and also starred in films including Near Dark and And You Thought Your Parents Were Weird, directed The Exorcism.

Joshua John Miller also wrote the script with M.A. Fortin (The Final Girls). This one is personal for Miller, as his late father was the star of the best possession movie ever made.

Miller said in a statement this week, “The origins of the film stem from my childhood spent watching my father, Jason Miller, playing the doomed Father Karras flinging himself out a window at the climax of The Exorcist. If that wasn’t haunting enough on its own, my dad never shied away from telling me stories of just how “cursed” the movie was: the mysterious fires that plagued the production, the strange deaths, the lifelong injuries— the list went on and on. The lore of any “cursed film” has captivated me ever since.”

“With The Exorcism, we wanted to update the possession movie formula (“Heroic man rescues woman from forces she’s too weak and simple to battle herself!”) for a world where no one group owns goodness and decency over another,” he adds. “We were gifted with an extraordinary cast and creative team to tell a story about how we’re all vulnerable to darkness, to perpetuating it, if we fail to face our demons. The devil may retaliate, but what other choice do we have?”

The film had previously been announced under the title The Georgetown Project.

“The Exorcism follows Anthony Miller (Crowe), a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.”

Sam Worthington (Avatar: The Way of Water), Chloe Bailey (Praise This), Adam Goldberg (The Equalizer) and David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) also star.

Of particular note, Kevin Williamson (Scream, Sick) produced The Exorcism.
