The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/i> tells us:<\/span><\/p>\n

New Line Cinema has taken possession of \u201cThe Rite,\u201d the true story of an American priest who studied at an exorcism school in Italy.<\/p>\n

Contrafilm\u2019s Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson will produce a feature film based on the upcoming nonfiction book by Rome-based journalist Matt Baglio. Michael Petroni<\/a> signed on to write the adapted screenplay before the writers strike. Fletcher & Parry Films will co-produce with Contrafilm.<\/p>\n

Baglio was allowed to follow a young priest during months of training with a senior exorcist at a school affiliated with the Vatican. \u201cRite,\u201d now subtitled \u201cThe Making of a Modern Day Exorcist,\u201d is set for publication by Doubleday in early 2009.<\/p>\n

Although the book is not finished and the screenplay won\u2019t be completed until after the strike, the film is expected to include scenes of exorcisms based on the priest\u2019s experiences.<\/p>\n

Petroni is a natural fit for the material, having written screenplays involving the Catholic Church (\u201cThe Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys\u201d) and the supernatural (Yari Film Group\u2019s upcoming \u201cPossession\u201d). . . .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wonder how it will compare to films like The Exorcist<\/a><\/i> (1973), The Exorcism of Emily Rose<\/a><\/i> (2005) or even Requiem<\/a><\/i> (2006).<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Carmen Andres<\/a> at In the Open Space has rounded up some links on Baglio and on real-life exorcists in general.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
