'The Exorcist: Believer' Director Is Changing the Franchise's Demon

Pazuzu won't be the main tormentor in the upcoming sequel.

The Big Picture Cutting a new edge on a fan-favorite story is what it’s all about for David Gordon Green in his upcoming film, The Exorcist: Believer. Putting a spin on the classic and delivering it to a modern audience isn’t the easiest thing to do, but Green was more than up for the challenge. Featuring a new set of faces, the filmmaker knew that he wanted to shake things up for the demon as well.

The shift from Pazuzu to a new demon will mark perhaps the biggest change from the five other films that currently make up the franchise. In one way or another, the demon that was first introduced in William Friedkin’s 1973 cinematic masterpiece, The Exorcist, has been involved in all the other titles. While it’s likely viewers will hear about Pazuzu in Believer, Green is ready to deviate from the franchise’s ghoul.
