Haluaistko olla Malachi Martin
15.05.2020 |
Malachi Brendan Martin (Irish: Maolsheachlainn Breandán Ó Máirtín; 23 July 1921 – 27 July 1999), occasionally writing under the pseudonym Michael Serafian, was an Irish Catholic priest and writer on the Catholic Church. Originally ordained as a Jesuit priest, he became Professor of Palaeography at the Vatican's Pontifical Biblical Institute. From 1958, he served as secretary to Cardinal Augustin Bea during preparations for the Second Vatican Council.
Disillusioned by Vatican II, he asked to be released from certain aspects of his Jesuit vows in 1964 and moved to New York City, where he later became an American citizen.
His 17 novels and non-fiction books were frequently critical of the Vatican hierarchy, whom he believed had failed to act on the Third Prophecy revealed by the Virgin Mary at Fátima.[1] Among his most significant works were The Scribal Character of The Dead Sea Scrolls (1958) and Hostage To The Devil (1976) which dealt with Satanism, demonic possession, and exorcism. The Final Conclave (1978) was a warning against Soviet espionage in the Holy See via Soviet spies in the Vatican.

“Martin is above all serious," a Newsweek review read. "He is not speaking about madness, about illusions or the irrational, but about the real beyond all reason. ... He presents exorcism as ... a titanic clash of wills that threatens the lives, the sanity, even the souls of all attending.”
Ironically, the writer of the best-selling novel — and the screenplay for the movie — “The Exorcist,” William Peter Blatty, was not a fan of Martin’s work.
“I loathe this book," he wrote in a Los Angeles Times review. “It gives possession a bad name.”
Who knew possession ever had a good name?
Martin was evidently no fan of Blatty’s work, either. In an interview that is featured in the 2016 Netflix documentary bearing the same name as his best-seller, Martin rants, “It makes out exorcism to be a sort of combination of Frankenstein and Dracula with a lot of green goo and windows breaking and bodies flying, and it’s much more terrible and lethal than that."

Osgood Perkins to Write, Helm Exorcism Thriller ‘Incident at Fort Bragg’
“The Blackcoat’s Daughter” director Osgood Perkins has signed on to write and direct the supernatural thriller “Incident at Fort Bragg” for Lionsgate.
The project is inspired by the true story of Irish priest Malachi Martin, who was brought in by the U.S. government to perform a sanctioned exorcism on a young soldier at Fort Bragg, N.C., the largest military installation in the world.
FlynnPictureCo’s Beau Flynn will produce. Flynn previously produced “The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” which totaled $144 million worldwide for Screen Gems, and “The Rite,” starring Anthony Hopkins, which earned $96 million worldwide.
Scott Glassgold of Ground Control Entertainment is also a producer, with Scott Sheldon of FlynnPictureCo serving as executive producer. Meredith Wieck and Aaron Edmonds are overseeing development of the project for Lionsgate.
In addition to writing and directing A24’s “The Blackcoat’s Daughter,” starring Emma Roberts and Kiernan Shipka, Perkins wrote and helmed Netflix’s “I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House,” starring Ruth Wilson. He also directed the upcoming “Gretel & Hansel” with “It’s” Sophia Lillis, which is scheduled to hit theaters Jan. 31, 2020.
Jeff Buhler, whose credits include the screenplay for Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer’s “Pet Sematary” remake, wrote the latest draft for “Incident at Fort Bragg.” Evan Turner and Harrison Query wrote the original draft, which sold as a pitch in a bidding war to Lionsgate.
Perkins is repped by CAA, Grandview, and attorney Jonathan Shikora at Lichter Grossman.
