Russell Crowe Interview: Gladiator 2 & The Pope's Exorcist
In Sony Pictures’ The Pope’s Exorcist, Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe portrays the real-life Chief Exorcist of the Vatican, Father Gabriele Amorth. During his interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff, Crowe reveals how the reality of the famed exorcist’s life experiences shook his foundations.
In the film, Father Amorth is assigned by the Pope himself (Franco Nero) to perform an exorcism on a young boy (Peter DeSouza-Feighoney) in rural Spain. Amorth has dealt with a number of exorcisms throughout his time with the church, but most are sparked by psychosis rather than paranormal influence. However, this case demands Amorth engage in battle with true evil, with a centuries-old mystery to be solved at its core.

Not only does Crowe go into detail on what he learned about Father Amorth's reported 60,000+ exorcisms, but he also takes a moment to share his thoughts on Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated Gladiator sequel.
