Nearly three years after Paul Schrader began production on his prequel to "The Exorcist," Morgan Creek Prods. has decided to give the pic a theatrical life. It will bow May 20, the same day as "Star Wars" but in a considerably more limited release reports Variety.
Warner Bros. Pictures will handle the pic's distribution. Schrader's movie began production in November 2002 but got its plug pulled in September 2003 over creative differences. The producers shelled out another $35 million to have Renny Harlin do his version which was released in theatres last year.
Schrader decided to take his finished film to the Brussels Fantasy Film Festival last month for its world premiere. All that remains is the matter of a title, Morgan Creek is leaning toward "Dominion: A Prequel to the Exorcist."
Thanks to 'Solvent'.
