According to FEARnet, The Exorcist is being remade!! Before everyone starts crying about how they shouldn't remake this movie, this is what you need to know. It's not being remade into a movie, it's being remade into a ten-part TV miniseries. Sean Durkin, writer-director of Martha Marcy May Marlene will be directing this miniseries. Apparently it's suppose to be a more detailed version of William Peter Blatty's original novel. It's been almost 40 years since The Exorcist, the first horror movie ever to being nominated for The Best Picture Oscar came out.
The film is being backed by Morgan Creek and produced by Roy Lee, the executive producer of films like The Departed and The Ring. Unlike the 1973 film, Durkin's version of The Exorcist shows the events leading up to the actual demonic possession and the after shock of the whole experience. The film isn't being shopped around to any networks for another two weeks but there has already been some calls asking for meetings to talk about picking up the story.
I don't know about all of you but if this movie HAS to be remade, I much rather see it remade into an actual movie instead of a miniseries. I can't see this miniseries picking up or doing well. I find it boring to watch a miniseries about a person being possessed when you only get to see the possession in the last two episodes. From what I read from FEARnet, it looks like they're not 100% convinced either.
