Exclusive: Wolf Creek director Greg McLean will write and direct The First Exorcist, a supernatural thriller out of Australia.
McLean’s Emu Creek Pictures is collaborating with Mark Fennessy’s Helium to make the pic, we can reveal. Production is set for Victoria, Australia, with a 2025 shoot date planned. Casting will follow.
The First Exorcist is billed as a “spellbinding fusion of religious and supernatural events set in Biblical times,” in which a mother goes on a harrowing quest to save her daughter from demonic possession. Plot reads: “As their lives descend into a nightmare, the mother learns of a mysterious healer with the power to expel demons, and embarks on a dangerous race against time – encountering hostile Roman authorities on her perilous mission to find the healer and save her daughter’s life.”
The plan is to use cutting edge virtual production tech in Victoria to bring epic ancient cities and locations to life.
