Before Gladiator 2, Russell Crowe takes on a horror subject. In the first trailer for The Pope’s Exorcist, he exorcises demons in the name of the Pope. The film is based on true events.
How many demon exorcisms does an exorcist perform in a lifetime? Ten? Fifty? Or more? Official exorcist Gabriele Amorth says he has performed over 160,000 exorcisms (via Huffington Post ). Gladiator star is now to impersonate the real-life role model in the horror film The Pope’s Exorcist. The trailer already puts him to his most difficult test.

Gladiator star Russell Crowe battles ancient horror demon
In The Pope’s Exorcist, veteran Amorth (Crowe) is called to his toughest case yet. He finds out that his adversary is an ancient demon against whom the Church is fighting not for the first time. And he seems to have only the role of a small token in this fight.
Director Julius Avery (Operation: Overlord) is known, among other things, for his atmospheric staging. Crowe is joined in front of the camera by a host of stars, from Game of Thrones veteran Ralph Ineson to Western legend and John Wick 2 actor Franco Nero.
