The Pope's Exorcist's Julius Avery on Making a Man of the Cloth Into a Hero
When I was brought on, I leaned into the more pulpy side of things,” said Avery. “
I love smashing real and grounded with over-the-top, bonkers stuff.” By his own profession, he wasn’t much of an exorcism horror fan, but his interest ingrew upon reading its script and its portrayal of Amorth. “He felt like Dirty Harry and Columbo, a real rogue within the church. [...] He can thumb his nose at the new ways of the Church, but he’s also this super faithful servant of God where his faith is unquestionable. So I just love that contradiction.”showed that audiences took to Crowe’s take on Amorth, which Avery found himself pleased with. If the film does well, he hopes to do more with Amorth and his fellow priest, Father Esquibel . “In the movie, we set up that there’s 200 evil places where God is not welcome, and so there’s 199 more movies to go,” he pointed out.
It’d also be fun to see Russell again on his Lambretta, with Father Esquibel by his side on a Vespa.”
