According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision Blog, Hopkins has been signed to play the part of an unconventional exorcist in director Mikael (1408) Hafstrom’s The Rite.
Based upon a book by Matt Baglio, which of course was based on “true events”, The Rite centers on a disillusioned American seminary student who attends exorcism school at the Vatican and ultimately finds his faith through encounters with demonic forces.
