Directed by David Gordon Green. Written by Peter Sattler and David Gordon Green, based on characters created by William Peter Blatty. Opens Friday, Oct. 6. franchise, it’s always a direct sequel to recently departed director William Friedkin’s shocking original, the one that fucked up so many moviegoers’ days when it was released 50 years ago.
After saying they weren’t going to do another remake/reboot/re-whatever-the-fuck, Morgan Creek Entertainment has now gotNot only did they bring in horror mogul Jason Blum to produce, but they also got professional horror-franchise revivers David Gordon Green and Danny McBride.
Interestingly enough, when Burstyn gets put on the sidelines for the rest of the movie , that’s when homage to just another souped-up Blumhouse production. In the first half, Green tries to recreate the mundane yet off-kilter rhythm that Friedkin brought to’s first hour, the rhythm that made audiences paranoid and creeped out even before the actual scary shit went down.

The Exorcist: Believer Releases One Last Featurette Before TomorrowThe Exorcist: Believer\nOnly in Theaters Friday\n\nExactly 50 years ago this fall, the most terrifying horror film in history landed on screens, shocking audiences around the world. Now, on Friday, October 13, a new chapter begins. From Blumhouse and director David Gordon Green, who shattered the status quo with their resurrection of the Halloween franchise, comes The Exorcist: Believer. \n\nSince the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Tony winner and Oscar\u00ae nominee Leslie Odom, Jr.; One Night in Miami, Hamilton) has raised their daughter, Angela (Lidya Jewett, Good Girls) on his own. \n\nBut when Angela and her friend Katherine (newcomer Olivia O\u2019Neill), disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil. \n\nFor the first time since the 1973 film, Oscar\u00ae winner Ellen Burstyn reprises her iconic role as Chris MacNeil, an actress who has been forever altered by what happened to her daughter Regan five decades before.\n\nThe film also stars Emmy winner Ann Dowd (The Handmaid\u2019s Tale, Hereditary) as Victor and Angela\u2019s neighbor, and Grammy winner Jennifer Nettles (Harriet, The Righteous Gemstones) and two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz (Fosse/Verdon, Bloodline) as the parents of Katherine, Angela\u2019s friend. \n\nWhen The Exorcist, based on the best-selling book by William Peter Blatty, was released, it changed the culture forever, obliterating box office records and earning 10 Academy Award\u00ae nominations, becoming the first horror film ever nominated for Best Picture. \n\nThe Exorcist: Believer is directed by David Gordon Green from a screenplay by Peter Sattler (Camp X-Ray) and David Gordon Green, from a story by Scott Teems (Halloween Ki
