German director [[w:Hans-Christian Schmid|Hans-Christian Schmid]] is launching his own treatment of Anneliese Michel's story, ''Requiem'', around the same time in late 2005.

==''The Man''==

The affable, optimistic dental supply salesman Andy Fiddler ([[w:Eugene Levy|Eugene Levy]]) is pulled into the mix after a case of mistaken identity, and must help Vann complete the mission.

Released by New Line Cinema.
