Josh Heuston & Ryan Corr To Star In Greg McLean’s Biblical Horror ‘The First Exorcist’; Upgrade Launches For Cannes Market

EXCLUSIVE: Josh Heuston (Dune: Prophecy) and Ryan Corr (Wolf Creek 2) are attached to star in Biblical horror-thriller The First Exorcist from Wolf Creek director Greg McLean.

Drawn from one of the most visceral accounts in the Gospels, the film will tell the story of Alexios, “a pillar of his farming community, a beloved husband and father, whose mind and body are overtaken by a legion of demons. As his possession becomes more violent and fear grips the village, a young unknown preacher named Jesus comes to town with a few followers. He and only he can confront this ancient evil, which is unlike anything he has faced before — the demonic force behind the Gerasene Demoniac. What follows is the world’s original exorcism: the Miracle of the Swine, a violent and transcendent supernatural showdown whose reverberations would change the course of human history.”
