Exorcism Drama The Rite Gets A Trailer

The Last Exorcism? Think again. Anthony Hopkins stars in supernatural thriller, The Rite, about, er, exorcisms. It’s got a brilliant cast to star alongside Sir Anthony, including: Rutger Hauer, Toby Jones, Alice Braga and Ciaran Hinds. Awesome.

Supposedly based on true events – of course it is, darling – Mikael Håfström’s flick has got a brand new trailer. Will the power of Christ compel you to the cinema when it’s released in February? You bet your sweet arse it will. Let’s hope it doesn’t munson the ending like a certain Daniel Stamm film.

Synopsis:

Inspired by true events, “The Rite” follows skeptical seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O’Donoghue), who reluctantly attends exorcism school at the Vatican. While in Rome, he meets an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins), who introduces him to the darker side of his faith.

Directed by Mikael Håfström (“1408”), “The Rite” is a supernatural thriller that uncovers the devil’s reach to even one of the holiest places on Earth. The film stars Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins (“Silence of the Lambs,” “Wolfman”), Colin O’Donoghue in his feature film debut, Alice Braga (“Predators”), Ciarán Hinds (HBO’s “Rome,” upcoming “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” films), Toby Jones (“Frost/Nixon,” “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”) and Rutger Hauer (“Batman Begins,” “Blade Runner”).
