Based on True Events. The Ritual is the harrowing true story of the exorcism of Emma Schmidt, and the two priests (Al Pacino, Dan Stevens) who went to war with Satan to save her soul.
Director David Midell and Producer Enrico Natale (they also co-wrote the film) join the podcast to discuss making an exorcism film based on the most well documented cases in North American history. They talk about how they spent time with Pacino, at his house, figuring out his character, who decided to change the beard style of Al's priest and why filming the ending terrified some of the crew.
All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, produced and presented by Mark Searby.
