Al Pacino, Dan Stevens Attempt to Perform an Exorcism in ‘The Ritual’ Trailer
Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have differing methods of spreading their faith in the trailer for The Ritual.
Director David Midell’s feature is set to hit theaters June 6 from XYZ Films. Ashley Greene, Patricia Heaton, Abigail Cowen and Ritchie Montgomery round out the cast.
The Ritual focuses on Father Theophilus Riesinger (Pacino) and Father Joseph Steiger (Stevens) as they aim to assist a young woman who appears to be possessed by demons.
“We are the Lord’s army in this battle,” Pacino says in the trailer. “She is touched by something otherworldly.”
Later, Stevens asks, “What if what she really needs is a doctor?” This leads Pacino to respond, “We are paying a price for your lack of faith.”
The Ritual is inspired by the 1935 book Begone Satan!, which has been at the center of faith-based debate for nearly a century. Midell helmed the movie from a script he co-wrote with Enrico Natale.
