‘The Pope’s Exorcist’ starring Academy Award winner Russell Crowe may not have been the most popular film, but it managed to generate $76.9 million on a budget of $18 million meaning that a sequel was inevitable at some point in time.
The time has come.
According to The Pope’s Exorcist producer Jeff Katz – the movie is officially in the works – “Amorth Nation — I just got the call. It’s officially happening!”
“Thank you to the amazing #ThePopesExorcist fans. You made this happen. Gas up your Lambretta – and get ready to ride.”
Crowe recently spoke about the movie, saying that a trilogy was the original plan.
“We set that character up that you could take him out and put him into a lot of different circumstances,” Crowe said, during an interview with Movieweb. “And remember that the man that’s based on, Gabriele Amorth, he wrote twelve books. So we have more than enough source material to do one or two more of those films. But that probably won’t be until next year.”
