Anthony Hopkins (upcoming
Thor) will star in New
Line/Warner Bros. supernatural thriller
The Rite, to be directed by
Mikael Hafstrom from a script by Michael Petroni.
The film is adapted from a book by Matt Baglio and the following is
a description by publisher Random House:
In The Rite, journalist Matt Baglio uses the
astonishing story of one American priest's training as an exorcist
to reveal that the phenomena of possession, demons, the Devil, and
exorcism are not merely a remnant of the archaic past, but remain a
fearsome power in many people's lives even today.
Father Gary Thomas was working as a parish priest in California
when he was asked by his bishop to travel to Rome for training in
the rite of exorcism. Though initially surprised, and slightly
reluctant, he accepted this call, and enrolled in a new exorcism
course at a Vatican-affiliated university, which taught him, among
other things, how to distinguish between a genuine possession and
mental illness. Eventually he would go on to participate in more
than eighty exorcisms as an apprentice to a veteran Italian
exorcist. His experiences profoundly changed the way he viewed the
spiritual world, and as he moved from rational skeptic to
practicing exorcist he came to understand the battle between good
and evil in a whole new light. Journalist Matt Baglio had full
access to Father Gary over the course of his training, and much of
what he learned defies explanation.
The Rite provides fascinating vignettes from the lives of exorcists
and people possessed by demons, including firsthand accounts of
exorcists at work casting out demons, culminating in Father Gary's
own confrontations with the Devil. Baglio also traces the history
of exorcism, revealing its rites and rituals, explaining what the
Catholic Church really teaches about demonic possession, and
delving into such related topics as the hierarchy of angels and
demons, satanic cults, black masses, curses, and the various
theories used by modern scientists and anthropologists who seek to
quantify such phenomena.
Written with an investigative eye that will captivate both skeptics
and believers alike, The Rite shows that the truth about demonic
possession is not only stranger than fiction, but also far more
chilling.
