Patricia Heaton Details Her Faith & Al Pacino Movie 'The Ritual'

In a recent interview with MovieWeb, Patricia Heaton made no bones about it — faith drives her life and her career choices. "My faith has always played a prominent role in my life. It's the center of who I am, my relationship with God." This guiding principle is apparent in her role in The Unbreakable Boy, a movie that may not be explicitly about faith, but rather how faith plays a role in an extended family's battle with a variety of challenges.
While faith was a factor when accepting the role of Mother Superior in the upcoming horror film The Ritual, there were other factors at play:
"When I heard that Al Pacino was doing this movie, I didn't even ask what the script was. 'Yes, I'll do it.' [It is] right up my alley as a Catholic, it's about an exorcism, and it's also a true story..."
So how was working with Pacino?...
