The First Exorcist
Deadline reports Greg McClean (Wolf Creek) will direct The First Exorcist, an Australian supernatural thriller filming next year.

As their lives descend into a nightmare, the mother learns of a mysterious healer with the power to expel demons, and embarks on a dangerous race against time – encountering hostile Roman authorities on her perilous mission to find the healer and save her daughter’s life.”
