Sometimes when filmmakers become great they use all of their power in order help build up new and exciting artists in order to give them the shot they need and deserve. Unfortunately though, sometimes the wrong people get famous and end up helping nothing.
Take Eli Roth for example, who I clearly expressed by dislike for the other day. So today Hollywood Insider is saying that Lionsgate (who have worked with Roth on both Hostel movies) has picked up a film from a newcomer that Roth produced: call it paying it forward after Quentin Tarantino basically handed Roth a career by putting his name on Hostel.
The movie in question is called The Last Exorcism and it's about a priest who has his faith tested when he comes into contact with a young girl possessed by the devil who he needs to exorcise.
Funny, that plot sounds kind of like a little masterpiece from more than a few years back that you might have heard of. I think it was called The Exorcist or something like that? Maybe next time Eli.
