Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot points, including the ending for “The Pope’s Exorcist” currently playing in theaters. Director Julius Avery has “only seen parts” of William Friedkin’s classic “The Exorcist.” “I’m not a massive aficionado of exorcist movies,” he tells Variety. Yet despite that, his latest release, “The Pope’s Exorcist,” which is based on Gabriele Amorth’s books “An Exorcist Tells His Story” and “An Exorcist: More Stories,” follows the Vatican’s chief exorcist to Spain. Played by Russell Crowe, Father Amorth teams up with a priest, Father Esquibel (Daniel Zovatto), to investigate a young mother, Julia (Alex Essoe), and her children, who have recently become possessed by a powerful demon.

Como se dice, “What the hell?”The priest, whose beard is mysteriously much whiter than his hair, is sent to the abbey by the pope — “Charlie’s Angels” style. The building was recently inherited by Julia (Alex Essoe) after the car-accident-impalement death of her husband.

declared of the new movie “The Pope’s Exorcist,” starring Russell Crowe, which hits theaters Friday.The 29-year-old Catholic organization added: “The end result is to instill the conviction that exorcism is an abnormal, monstrous and frightening phenomenon, whose only protagonist is the devil, whose violent reactions can be faced with great difficulty.”There’s more to their ire than Hollywood’s flair for exaggeration. The IAE, it turns out, has a personal beef with the movie.The supernatural horror film takes its inspiration from their late founder, Father Gabriele Amorth (played by Crowe), who held the title of chief exorcist of the Vatican for more than two decades.

Russell Crowe, who features in horror movie “The Pope’s Exorcist, ” is actually not fond of scary films.

The Pope’s Exorcist has been branded “unreliable splatter” by the International Association of Exorcists (IAE).In the trailer and other promotional material, the movie claims to be “inspired by the actual files of father Gabriele Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican”.“There is actually a real job called the Chief Exorcist in the Vatican,” Crowe explained in the film’s production notes. “Father Gabriele Amorth was a real man who held that office for 36 years, and was involved in tens of thousands of exorcisms.”However, in a statement issues last month, the IAE, which Amorth himself founded in 1990, described the film as “unreliable splatter cinema” (via The Guardian).The statement claimed that the film’s plot, which involves a Vatican conspiracy, raised “unacceptable doubt” as to who “the real enemy is, the devil or ecclesiastical power”.It continued: “The end result is to instil the conviction that exorcism is an abnormal, monstrous, and frightening phenomenon, whose only protagonist is the devil, whose violent reactions can be faced with great difficulty.“This is the exact opposite of what occurs in the context of exorcism celebrated in the Catholic church in obedience to the directives imparted by it.”Amorth was president of the IAE until 2000 and died in 2016.

A "Gladiator" sequel is in the works without Russell Crowe, and the actor admitted he’s "slightly jealous." In an interview with Collider promoting his new movie, "The Pope’s Exorcist," Crowe said, "Look, the only thing that I really feel about it is slightly jealous, you know? Because I was a much younger man, obviously, and it was a huge experience in my life." He continued, "It's something that changed my life, really. It changed the way people regarded me and what I do for a living, and, you know, I've been very lucky to be involved in lots of big movies, but the legs on that film are incredible." "Gladiator" earned 12 Oscar nominations, and took home a total of five, including best picture, and best actor for Crowe.  "You don't always get that kind of longevity with every film you do, so, it obviously holds a special place in my heart," the 59-year-old said.

Guy Lodge Film Critic On the face of it, “The Pope’s Exorcist” would have you believe that it’s rooted in the real-life experiences of the late Father Gabriele Amorth, the Catholic priest who served for 30 years as the head exorcist of the Diocese of Rome. Its screenwriting credits proclaim as much, for starters, while a surfeit of onscreen dates and locations in the early going lend proceedings the faintest of docudrama veneers; moreover, the film is backed by the non-profit production arm of the Jesuit research university Loyola Marymount, with Loyola rector Father Edward J. Siebert among its executive producers. Even Catholics in high places, it turns out, have a sense of humor: You needn’t wait for the “work of fiction” disclaimer in the closing credits to discern that “The Pope’s Exorcist” is ripely fantastical trash, inspired by Amorth’s work in much the same way that SunnyD is inspired by Florida oranges, and no less enjoyable for those liberties. Rather than the Bible or any of Amorth’s autobiographies, Julius Avery’s film instead swears by the trusty story template shaped by every demonic-possession horror film since “The Exorcist” a full half-century ago, as a hapless American teen is inhabited by an ancient minion of Satan with increasingly yucky, upchucky consequences, while a venerable priest is called upon to clear up the mess.

45th president is being indicted over his alleged involvement in a hush-money scandal — but if his unprecedented legal woes are turned into a biopic it doesn’t look as though Russell Crowe will be playing him.While promoting his new film “The Pope’s Exorcist,” Crowe was asked by Australian Channel Seven Sunrise host Natalie Barr if he would ever consider playing Trump in a film.The typically outspoken Crowe sidestepped a direct response to say he’s “really busy” at the moment.“I’ve got lots, lots, and lots of things to do,” the 58-year-old actor told Barr, looking at the watch on his wrist.The “Gladiator” Oscar winner is not short on roles, starring in four films in 2022, including: “Thor: Love and Thunder,” “Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher,” “The Greatest Beer Run Ever,” and “Poker Face,” which he also directed.Crow is currently in production on a number of films including  “Sleeping Dogs,” and recently finished filming “Kraven the Hunter.”His latest film, “The Pope’s Exorcist,” comes out April 14.Trump was indicted last week by a Manhattan grand jury over an alleged  $130,000 “hush money” payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. The former president surrendered at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office Tuesday afternoon.The exact charges against Trump will remain under seal until the hearing.

Gladiator 2, but wishes lead actor Paul Mescal “the best of luck.”The Academy award winner starred in the iconic 2000 film as Maximus – an ex-Greek  general sold into slavery after his family was murdered, who sought revenge against the emperor who killed them.Fans have speculated that Maximus will return to the film in a flashback, even though he died in the original movie. The new film follows Lucius (Paul Mescal), the son of Maximus and his lover Lucilla (Connie Nielsen).
