After three years in development, Sony Screen Gems is finally moving forward with its feature adaptation of Edwin F. Becker’s book True Haunting, which will televise an exorcism.
True Haunting is the “terrifying true story” of the first televised exorcism on NBC in 1971. Millions around the country watched the program that was recorded here in Chicago. As the site previously noted, the NBC news segment was a success, the exorcism was not. Instead, it made things worse for the Becker family who lived there. Much worse.
The Call scribe Richard D’Ovidio is writing the adaptation which has quite the cast lined up, including Erin Moriarty, who can be seen in both Amazon’s “The Boys” and Marvel’s “Jessica Jones”, alongside Jamie Campbell Bower, who will star in the fourth season of “Stranger Things”, Deadline reports.
Gary Fleder is directing True Haunting.
