According to Variety Colin O’Donoghue (“The Tudors”, pictured right) is in final talks for New Line’s exorcism flick The Rite opposite Anthony Hopkins.
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.
Mikael (1408) Hafstrom is set to direct. More soon.
