Nachdem David Gordon Green‘s "the Exorcist: Believer" nicht so gut ankam - wohl aber erfolgreich lief (weltweit $136,284,218 bei einem Budget von $30 Millionen) - wurden die ursprünglichen Pläne einer neuen Trilogie nun kurzerhand gestoppt.
Stattdessen wird Genre-Könner Mike Flanagan ein ganz neues Werk verfassen und in Szene setzen.
It’s official: Mike Flanagan is set to write, direct, and produce the next Exorcist film for Blumhouse and Universal. But don’t expect a sequel to 2023’s The Exorcist: Believer; Flanagan will offer a radical new take on The Exorcist.
To reiterate, the new film will tell an all-new story set in The Exorcist universe and is not a sequel to David Gordon Green‘s The Exorcist: Believer. Plans for that trilogy are no longer moving forward.
Flanagan said in a statement, “The Exorcist is one of the reasons I became a filmmaker, and it is an honor to have the chance to try something fresh, bold, and terrifying within its universe. Reuniting with my friends at Blumhouse, with whom I’ve made some of my favorite pieces of work, only makes this more exciting.”
