As director Joshua John Miller prepares to release The Exorcism, starring Russell Crowe, comparisons to The Exorcist are inevitable. However, the link is more than coincidental as the 1973 film featured the filmmaker’s dad, Jason Miller, as Father/Dr. Damien Karras.
Speaking to ComicBook, Miller recalled what it was like to see his dad in the classic horror film. “I think the first time I saw it was on TV, so it was heavily edited but still creepy,” the director said. “I just remember watching it on a tiny TV in my grandmother’s living room. I just remember sitting in her living room, and it was a TV on a tray. It was kind of transgressive because it was like, ‘Ooooo you’re up late watching a dangerous movie.”
As seen in the official trailer, The Exorcism stars Crowe as troubled actor Anthony Miller, who begins to unravel while filming a supernatural horror film. His behavior prompts his estranged daughter, Lee (Fear Street’s Ryan Simpkins), to wonder if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. Other cast members include Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg, Adrian Pasdar, and David Hyde Pierce.
