According to The Hollywood Reporter, MAN ON WIRE director James Marsh has signed on to direct THE VATICAN TAPES, and lookee here–we even get a one-liner as to what this sucker’s all about. Check it: The story centers on a series of events that unfold after a tape gets leaked from the Vatican displaying an exorcism that goes wrong.
Nice. That actually sounds pretty damn cool, and will probably be a mix of drama and horror, much like the exceptional THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE. If it’s anything like that movie, we’ll be in for a stellar treat.
Marsh normally makes documentaries, so I wonder if this will be a ‘mocumentary’ about what goes down, or if he’s taking a stab at a feature-length film. Hard to tell at this point, as I can see it working either way. No stars have been attached as of yet, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we get word!
