The release of Saw X this weekend paves the way for the theatrical arrival of The Exorcist: Believer next weekend, and we’ve got FIVE brand new clips from the upcoming sequel today.
One of the most notable clips here features the return of Ellen Burstyn as Chris MacNeil, and it reveals that Chris has no idea where her daughter Regan is at this point in the story.
“I wake up every morning wondering where my daughter is. Praying that I’ll see her sweet face again one of these days,” Chris MacNeil explains to new character Victor Fielding.
Speaking of Victor (Leslie Odom, Jr.), he’s featured in a couple of the other clips as well, one of which sees him being attacked by his possessed daughter Angela (Lidya Jewett).
In the final clip we meet Katherine (Olivia Marcum), another young girl who is possessed by a demon in The Exorcist: Believer. Yup, this time around it’s a two-for-one deal.
Watch all five clips for the brand new Exorcist movie below.
David Gordon Green directed the brand new sequel to The Exorcist for Universal, Blumhouse and Morgan Creek that will pave the way for a new trilogy. This first film in the trilogy will now be released theatrically on October 6, 2023, with Leslie Odom Jr. starring.
Here’s the full plot synopsis…
“Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Leslie Odom, Jr.) has raised their daughter Angela (Lidya Jewett) on his own.
“But when Angela and her friend Katherine (Olivia Marcum) disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened, 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 (Ellen Burstyn).”
Peter Sattler (Broken Diamonds) and Gordon Green wrote the script for Believer, which features a story by Green, Scott Teems (Halloween Kills) and Danny McBride (Halloween).
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.
