Physician Sleep and The Haunting of Hill Home filmmaker Mike Flanagan is formally set to put in writing, direct, and produce “a radical new take” on The Exorcist.
Just a few weeks in the past it was reported that Flanagan was in talks to direct the movie, but it surely gained’t be a sequel to The Exorcist: Believer. As an alternative, will probably be “an all-new story set in The Exorcist universe.”
In response to the report, this subsequent film is about “demon-possessed individuals and the Jesuit monks that wrangle them.”
Flanagan stated in an announcement: “The Exorcist is likely one of the causes I turned a filmmaker, and it’s an honor to have the prospect to attempt one thing recent, daring, and terrifying inside its universe. Reuniting with my associates at Blumhouse, with whom I’ve made a few of my favourite items of labor, solely makes this extra thrilling.”
Blumhouse Boss Jason Blum added: “Mike’s voice and imaginative and prescient are indispensable for horror followers and we’re excited to welcome him again to Blumhouse. I instantly responded to Mike’s new tackle the world of The Exorcist and may’t look forward to audiences to expertise it.”
David Robinson, Chairman and CEO of Morgan Creek stated: “It’s an honor to be working with Mike. I believe his imaginative and prescient for this franchise goes to stun audiences worldwide, and I couldn’t be extra excited to be working with him, Trevor, Jason and the complete Blumhouse Group.”
If anybody can correctly breathe new life in The Exorcist franchise, it’s Flanagan. This man is likely one of the greatest storytellers and filmmakers working in Hollywood proper now, and the truth that he’s concerned with this subsequent Exorcist film is thrilling.
I’m trying ahead to seeing what he comes up with for this subsequent film, and I’m completely happy it’s not going to be a sequel to The Exorcist: Believer.
