well it really is a "if i had a nickel for every time russell would be in an exorcism movie, i would have two nickels" situation, but the timing is so unfortunate 😭

i think georgetown project - sorry, the exorcism, i am too used to the old title - has been hindred a lot by the pandemic (considering i think most if not all was shot pre-covid). but i think doing the name change is just a bad move? i feel like it is swimming too much in the same waters as the pope's exorcist

i am cautiously looking forward to this, tho. while this type of horror is completely not my genre, i think the premise could... idk, be fun? and i think he was good in his earlier horror-ey appearances (including 'unhinged' here as well), so i am curious to see what this will bring. this seems to be a bit more of a dramatic approach to the genre rather than the light hearted role of amorth in pope's exorcist. but it still seems to be trope heavy with the whole exorcism type of movie. so eh, we will see in what ways it does and does not differ from TPE.

i also kinda feel like it might have to do with a couple things, but now i am speculating:

- russell being a little bit less in demand right now as he is kind of... in an inbetween phase of his life. I would not say russell is an actor who gets typecast, but there is always an energy and vibe to an actor. and i kinda feel like he has to reinvent himself to figure out what he will bring to the table now that he is 60.

- related to the above but russell trying to branch out a bit more with the types of roles he has played & dipping his toes into a genre that was new to him (and maybe liking that enough to stick around for a bit?)

but yeahhhhh, i am glad that he has some drama coming up :) i am especially excited about the nuremberg project he has been filming recently - that really feels like the type of movie that could push him in the type of direction again that i (as a drama films lover) appreciate 💘

(sorry that i went wayyyy too serious with this reply 😭)

me slowly forming a wardrobe with stuff i bought inspired by three name actors their clothes

oh dear oh dear he is so hot!!!!!!!
