Exorcisms, like everything else, had to start somewhere, and the latest exorcism-centric horror movie is interested in just where—and when—that was. The First Exorcist, Deadline reports, is coming from writer-director Greg McLean (Wolf Creek, pictured above), and is set in Biblical time.
Deadline has this to say about the plot:
McLean has recently been directing mostly TV, including episodes of La Brea and the Australian spinoff Wolf Creek series. His last film was Jungle, which starred Daniel Radcliffe.
The Last Exorcist will film in Australia, using “cutting edge virtual production tech in Victoria to bring epic ancient cities and locations to life,” Deadline says. Casting has not yet begun, but as the film begins shooting in 2025, there will likely be more news on that front soon.
