Something supernatural, but grounded in reality,” says Neveldine. “I’ve always wanted to do a possession film. Mark Neveldine, having gone to Catholic school, had a personal grasp on the world of The Vatican Tapes, and after discussing the project with producers, Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi, he jumped aboard the project. “He brings a lot of energy to the film, but in this particular instance, he also contributes a great understanding of the Catholic faith and demonic possession.” “Mark Neveldine responded to the material and brought a sense of what the Vatican is really like today,” Gary Lucchesi adds. He’s constantly moving and there’s a kinetic energy he brings to production, which is infectious,” states producer, Richard Wright. “Mark is an extraordinarily creative guy on set. They found that combination in Mark Neveldine, who had acted as a director, cinematographer and camera operator in previous films such as the fast-paced action-thriller, Crank, starring Jason Statham. The producers went in search of a director who could connect to the material in a personal way, as well as bring a visceral and cutting edge style to the film. We have a very good relationship with the studio, so we decided to by the script together,” recalls Gary Lucchesi. “It was a spec screenplay by Chris Borelli, which we received at same time as Lionsgate. “It’s supposed to have relatable people and a relatable world-the world we see every single day around us, yet something is a little different.” “Originally Chris Morgan and I came up with this idea to do an exorcism film that felt grounded and real,” explains screenwriter, Christopher Borrelli. The Vatican Tapes began when Lionsgate and Lakeshore Entertainment received the haunting spec script that took the classic horror concept of demonic possession and elevated it to an even more chilling level by introducing the anti-Christ. “Then at a certain point in the film, the priests and doctors realize that they’re dealing with a demon.” People around her try to help her, and they try to treat her unknown condition,” says screenwriter, Christopher Borrelli. “It’s a modern film about a woman who is consumed by demonic possession. Lakeshore’s President and film producer Gary Lucchesi adds: “The big idea of The Vatican Tapes is that in a secret vault in the Vatican, there is an immense library that chronicles all of the possession incidents since the beginning of the Catholic faith.” As horrifying incidents escalate, we find out that Angela’s body has been consumed by the anti-Christ.” “She descends into a dark hole where terrifying things start to happen, but no one can figure out the cause of it. “This is a story about an ordinary girl, Angela,” says director, Mark Neveldine. From the filmmakers of the hit The Exorcism of Emily Rose, this horror-thriller dives into a modern day story of good and evil, while exploring the devastating and widespread consequences of a demonic possession. “A demon’s greatest threat is not to your body, but your soul.” – Cardinal BruunĮnter the terrifying world of The Vatican Tapes.
