The first official one-sheets for David Gordon Green’s “The Exorcist” revival titled “The Exorcist: Believer” has been released by Blumhouse, Morgan Creek, Universal Pictures and Peacock.
The first film of a proposed new trilogy of movies, it serves as a direct sequel to the original. In the film, two girls go missing and come back possessed.
Leslie Odom Jr. stars as one of the parents who has never seen anything like this and so sets out to find someone who has – none other than Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) many years after the events involving her daughter Regan.
Ann Dowd, Lidya Jewett, and Jennifer Nettles also star in the film, which Green co-writes with Scott Teems, Danny McBride, and Petter Sattler.
Green, who helmed 2018’s “Halloween” revival and its sequels, is directing the first film with Universal acquiring the rights for this trilogy in a massive deal reported to be worth over $400 million.
Jason Blum, David Robinson, and James Robinson produce, whilst Green, McBride, Couper Samuelson, and Stephanie Allain executive produce. “The Exorcist: Believer” remains on track for release on October 13th.
The one-sheets come at the same time that Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced a September 19th release date for the 4K UHD release of the William Friedkin-directed 1975 original feature.
