The Rite Trailer

• 7th Dec 2010

Inspired by true events (yes that old nugget), The Rite follows skeptical seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O’Donoghue), who reluctantly attends exorcism school at the Vatican.  While in Rome, he meets an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins), who introduces him to the darker side of his faith.

Directed by Mikael Håfström (1408), The Rite is a supernatural thriller that uncovers the devil’s reach to even one of the holiest places on Earth.  The film stars Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs, Wolfman), Colin O’Donoghue in his feature film debut, Alice Braga (Predators), Ciarán Hinds  (HBO’s Rome, upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films), Toby Jones (Frost/Nixon, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) and Rutger Hauer (Batman Begins, Blade Runner).
