Filming will take place next year in Australia on The First Exorcist, Deadline reports today, a supernatural horror movie being directed by Greg McLean (Wolf Creek, Wolf Creek 2).
The upcoming exorcism-themed horror film from Emu Creek Pictures and Helium is said to be “a spellbinding fusion of religious and supernatural events set in Biblical times.”
In The First Exorcist, “A mother goes on a harrowing quest to save her daughter from demonic possession. As their lives descend into a nightmare, the mother learns of a mysterious healer with the power to expel demons, and embarks on a dangerous race against time – encountering hostile Roman authorities on her perilous mission to find the healer.”
Deadline notes in today’s report, “The plan is to use cutting edge virtual production tech in Victoria to bring epic ancient cities and locations to life.”
“Greg’s script delivers an intensity and emotional depth that, combined with jaw-dropping scares, a fascinating historical setting and powerful supernatural themes, will create a milestone film experience,” teases Helium’s Mark Fennessy. “His refined storytelling and dynamic visual style will elevate The First Exorcist, and we are thrilled to bring his spine-chilling vision to life.”
This will be Greg McLean’s first movie since Jungle starring Daniel Radcliffe back in 2017. He also directed The Darkness (2016) starring Kevin Bacon and The Belko Experiment (2016).
