I just got this from Act One. Kinda intereting.
EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE MADE BY ACT ONE FACULTY MEMBER
The Exorcism in Emily Rose, which opens this weekend in theaters across the country, was written and directed by Act One faculty member Scott Derrickson.
Derrickson also contributed to the upcoming Act One book, Behind the Screen, which you can preorder now on Amazon.
Here’s our latest press release. (Note: The Exorcism of Emily Rose contains terrifying scenes of demonic possession. Obviously, it’s not meant for children.)
Exorcism of Emily Rose Writer/Director Contributes to Book by Hollywood Christians
HOLLYWOOD, CA -- September 7, 2005 -- The man behind this weekend’s hotly anticipated movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose has written a chapter for the upcoming book Behind the Screen: Hollywood Insiders on Faith, Film, and Culture, a collection of essays by Christians working in mainstream Hollywood.
Emily Rose writer/director Scott Derrickson wrote the essay “A Filmmaker’s Progress” for the book, to be released November 1 by Baker Books. Behind the Screen will also feature contributions from X2 and Fantastic Four producer Ralph Winter, Buffy the Vampire Slayer writer Dean Batali, and comic book scribe Leo Partible.
Behind the Screen received a starred review in the latest issue of Publisher’s Weekly, which called it “thought-provoking ... these authors are culture makers who want to seamlessly integrate their beliefs with their work and art." Derrickson’s essay describes the filmmaker’s attempt to reconcile his artistic ambitions with his duty as a man of faith.
Emily Rose is already receiving raves from critics. Variety calls it “an unusually intelligent genre item that manages to mix full-bore horror with courtroom drama.” Ain’t It Cool News says it’s “a movie you simply can’t walk out of the theatre and shrug about … it gets inside you.”
Behind the Screen is a project of Act One, a Hollywood-based program that trains Christians for careers as writers and executives in the mainstream entertainment industry. More information is available at www.actoneprogram.com.
