One of the next big horror franchises to get the reboot treatment is The Exorcist, with David Gordon Green (Halloween Ends) directing a brand new sequel for Universal, Blumhouse and Morgan Creek that will pave the way for a planned trilogy. THR reports this afternoon that Ann Dowd (Hereditary) is the latest actor to join the cast of the upcoming The Exorcist sequel.
The first film in the trilogy will be released theatrically on October 13, 2023.
Stay tuned for more on The Exorcist reboot trilogy as we learn it.
The first plot details we were provided with last year tease, “Odom Jr. will play the father of a possessed child. Desperate for help, he tracks down Ms. Burstyn’s character.”
The Exorcist franchise hasn’t been on the big screen since the 2005 release of Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist, an alternate version of the previous year’s Exorcist: The Beginning. Those films came in the wake of 1977’s The Exorcist II: The Heretic and 1990’s The Exorcist III.
More recently, “The Exorcist” became a short-lived television series at Fox, which was surprisingly excellent and cleverly took place in the same world as the original classic.
