Preview:
- Diane Lane is joining the next ‘Exorcist’ movie.
- Mike Flanagan is writing and directing the film.
- It’ll be an all-new approach.
After a brief detour into the more metaphysical side of filmmaking with ‘The Life of Chuck’ modern horror maestro Mike Flanagan is diving back into the terror genre via a new take on ‘The Exorcist.’
And with Scarlett Johansson and ‘Hamnet’ actor Jacobi Jupe already aboard, the cast, via a report from Deadline, is swelling to include Diane Lane.
aeSnZzIO9VdotRrPrl3mS6The new movie won’t be a continuation of David Gordon Green’s 2023 effort ‘The Exorcist: Believer’ as plans for a trilogy flamed out following the disappointing box office returns for that.
Instead, Flanagan has written his own script, and has the backing of Universal alongside genre stalwart production companies Blumhouse and Atomic Monster.
