When a young girl possesses her son, a sceptical anthropologist must help a former priest demon hunter reclaim his faith to fight a demon and save them all.

Those are good ideas, but definitely ones more suited to a dramatic film.

Unfortunately, I'm not in my Jane Campion period just yet.

Thank you.

I sympathize with your challenge. Exorcism is a well-worked vein of ore -- but one that keeps attracting movie makers in hopes of discovering another box-office Bonanza.

There are some takes that I am not aware have been done yet. Such as: Rather than recycle the tired trope of a priest who has lost his faith, why not a priest who is gay and the prime suspect in a molestation scandal? Or what if the best man for the job exorcism is...a woman, a nun, but if she practices her gift, she will be excommunicated? What if the Catholic ritual fails, but an aboriginal ritual works?

Anyway, best wishes with your writing.
