Crucifix Crucifixion

Can’t get enough of those “based on true events” tales? Well then, here’s another!

The producer behind ANNABELLE and THE CONJURING will re-team with writers of THE CONJURING for the thriller THE CRUCIFIXION, to be directed by Xavier Gens (THE DIVIDE, HITMAN). Chad and Carey Hayes penned the screenplay, which is, of course, “based on true events.”

When a priest is jailed for the murder of a nun on whom he was performing an exorcism, an investigative journalist strives to determine whether he in fact murdered a mentally ill person, or if he lost the battle with a demonic presence.

Peter Safran (ANNABELLE, THE CONJURING) and the Hayes brothers will produce, with Lotus Entertainment’s Bill Johnson, Jim Seibel, D.J. Gugenheim and Ara Keshishian executive producing. Lotus will handle international sales and introduce to buyers at AFM.
