What do we know about Blasphemous?

According to a new report from THR, the trio have all signed on to star in the upcoming movie, which marks the directorial debut of Luke Piotrowski, the screenwriter behind Hellraiser and She Rides Shotgun. Production for the movie is said to be hoping to get underway in August.

THR describes the movie as a “mix of The Exorcist and Training,” and follows the story of “two clerics – a rookie priest (Hutcherson) and his devout mentor (Owen) who must transport a possessed young woman (Gillan) to a secure location for an exorcism. All hell breaks loose when she unexpectedly escapes, putting their lives on the line and their faith to the ultimate test.”

North.Five.Six are handling the sale of the movie, which is likely to be discussed at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin. While little else is known about the movie, its script was on the 2023 Black List, the annual list of the most popular unproduced scripts in Hollywood. In a statement on the castings, former Sony executive Scott Strauss, who is a producer for his Badlands banner, praised the script.

“Blasphemous is one of the best scripts the collective producer group has ever read,” Strauss said in a statement. “It’s a one-of-a-kind genre ride that features sharp dialogue, compelling characters, and powerful ideas.”

Gillan is best known for her roles in the Guardians of the Galaxy and Jumanji franchises, the latter of which she is currently filming another entry for alongside Dwayne Johnson. She is also set to star in the upcoming remake of Highlander. Hutcherson is also known for mega franchises like The Hunger Games and Five Night’s at Freddy’s, while Owen is known for his roles in movies like Closer, Sin City, the television series The Knick, and more.
