David Gordon Green has cast doubt on whether he'll return for The Exorcist: Believer's sequels. Who could take Green's place if he drops out?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT David Gordon Green has cast doubt on the possibility of returning to direct the sequels to The Exorcist: Believer, so which filmmakers could take Green’s place if he drops out? A direct sequel to William Friedkin’s 1973 horror masterpiece, The Exorcist: Believer revolves around two young girls getting possessed by a demon, and a desperate single father’s quest to save them.
7 James Wan In the early 2010s, James Wan sparked a resurgence in supernatural horror with his hugely popular Insidious and The Conjuring franchises. Those franchises – the early installments helmed by Wan, at least – followed the same principle that made The Exorcist so great: depicting the family’s home life with as much authenticity as possible so that, when the demons show up, the audience is invested in the characters and roots for them.
5 Jennifer Kent Like Flanagan, Jennifer Kent is another modern horror filmmaker who has been personally praised by William Friedkin himself. In a tweet, Friedkin made the bold statement that Kent’s breakout movie, The Babadook, is a horror landmark on par with Psycho and Alien. As a chilling supernatural thriller about a helpless mother trying to save her child from the threat of paranormal forces, The Babadook already owes a lot to The Exorcist.
3 Ari Aster In just five years as a feature director, Ari Aster has delivered his fair share of unsettling imagery that audiences can’t unsee. From the decapitations in Hereditary to the hallucinogenic trips in Midsommar, Aster has terrified and mesmerized audiences in equal measure. The most memorable scares in the original Exorcist movie are unforgettable images, like the tall staircase draped in fog or the pale-faced demon that flashes up during the delirium sequence.
