Captain Howdy reports that Morgan Creek have prepared a new and improved trailer for "Exorcist: The Beginning" to release online and in cinemas as soon as possible, replacing the one that was released just a fortnight ago.
They have hit an unforeseen hurdle, however. A Warner Brothers source revealing exclusively to CaptainHowdy.com today that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) have disapproved the new trailer for release, officially stating the footage is deemed "too scary for all audiences".
According to the source, the official document stated reasons why the trailer would not receive release approval, including 'blood on walls' and a 'white demonic face bleeding from the eyes'. It is not known whether Morgan Creek are fighting the decision or re-cutting the trailer to meet standards.
Still, this further confirms that Morgan Creek were indeed chasing a 'scarier' feel for their prequel after Schrader left the project and Renny Harlin was brought on board to patch things up. Practically the entire film was re-shot as a result. Renny Harlin's film will be in cinema's August 20, Paul Schrader's will reach DVD early next year.
Thanks to 'Captain Howdy'
