From the Hollywood Reporter:Campbell Scott, Shohreh Aghdashloo and Jennifer Carpenter are joining the cast of an untitled exorcism project based on true events. The horror thriller, in development at Sony's Screen Gems label, was inspired by the Catholic Church's official recognition of the demonic possession of an 18-year-old German college freshman. The young woman died during her exorcism, and a priest stood trial for causing her death. The script, written by director Scott Derrickson and Paul Harris Boardman, unfolds "Rashomon"-style, with different points of view recounting the events.
Scott ("The Secret Lives of Dentists") has been cast as a district attorney, while Aghdashloo ("House of Sand and Fog") is a doctor. Carpenter ("White Chicks") plays the possessed freshman. Laura Linney and Tom Wilkinson have already been cast. The movie is scheduled to shoot Nov. 16 in Vancouver.
