![]() When we train people to go through exorcisms, they go through an extended apprenticeship program. However, with what they are portraying in this film.The caution is."Do not try this at home." Know what you are doing. They are more apt to go where they won't be detected.īob Larson: I think that is fairly accurate. Basically, what you are telling me is, demons know, and are more apt to stay away from something like The Devil Inside. We know that demons are very smart, and very cunning. I wouldn't say that it is a common danger. Clergy confidentiality doesn't allow me to discuss anything about that. Obviously, I deal with political figures, business people, as well as ordinary people.A lot of people in the entertainment industry. Have you actually had professional actors come to you after portraying a certain character? Or something that is evil in a film? Do you find actors coming to you for character exorcisms?īob Larson: I have. With this movie here, though, I don't see that happening. When they are called onto portray that role. That is not the first time I've had an actor tell that sort of thing to me. After all, whether it was psychological or spiritual, he could not draw that distinction anymore. There is a strong possibility that somehow, he just took on too much of the evil of this character. That's what propelled his performance as The Joker.īob Larson: I would say.something overtook that man. Its your professional opinion, as the world's most renown exorcist, that Heath Ledger was, in fact, possessed by a demon during the making of The Dark Knight. At least there is the semblance of factuality here, which is very strong.Which is very different from something like Paranormal Activity, which is just about looking for things that go bump in the night. There was very little that I could disagree with there. Through the dialogue, the questions of these young seminarians that are in this exorcism school give very authentic answers. At the beginning of the film, which I like, there is a lot of interaction and discussion about what exorcism is. ![]() Because I think they take a realistic, factual approach to it. But I don't see that happening in this particular film. There is always a danger in loosing that line of distinction. As legend has it, even Jack Nicholson warned him not to do that movie, because of the nature of that role. But, like we see here, they are in a real location for the purpose of authenticity in the making of the film?īob Larson: Well.I'd be more worried about a Heath Ledger and a Joker character. When we are watching this movie, and we see these people who are possessed on screen, acting out this demonic reckoning, and they get lost in what is a very scary, very real performance.Does that make them more susceptible to actually being possessed by a real demon? Are they opening themselves up in an unhealthy way? Especially when these actors are not on a contained movie set. Like The Devil Inside, the more recent exorcism movies have been these faux-documentary, found-footage type thrillers. Here's what Bob had to say on the matter. I imagine him shuffling through Hell with his hat and cane right now, screaming, "See, that Oscar is mine!" Maybe this particular demon wanted to give the performance of a life time. In my professional opinion, I don't think a demon has the patience for all the wait time that occurs on a set. Why would a demon possess an actor, and then continue to carry through with making a movie. And he is quite cooperative with the crew. Which begs the question: If Heath Ledger was possessed by a demon.Did that demon want to act? Because if that is a demon, he is giving one heck of a performance. Heath Ledger's name came up automatically while discussing this topic. And how certain roles or performances may make a person more accessible to demons. Along the way, we began discussing the dangers of demon possession in acting. We recently caught up with Bob to chat about this new thriller.
