Inspired by true events, the film follows seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O’Donoghue), who is sent to study exorcism at the Vatican in spite of his own doubts about the controversial practice and even his own faith. Wearing his deep skepticism like armor, Michael challenges his superiors to look to psychiatry, rather than demons, in treating the possessed. Only when he’s sent to apprentice with the unorthodox Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins) — a legendary priest who has performed thousands of exorcisms — does Michael’s armor begin to fall. As he is drawn into a troubling case that seems to transcend even Father Lucas’s skill, he begins to glimpse a phenomenon science can’t explain or control … and an evil so violent and terrifying that it forces him to question everything he believes. – Your coverage of this event is invited – **Press Credentials will be issued at the event** THE RITE opens nationwide in theaters on Friday, January 28, 2011 “The Rite,” is a Contrafilm production, a Mikael Håfström film, and will be distributed by Warner Bros.
