Actress Linda Blair Upset She Hasn't Been Contacted For EXORCIST Series

The actress who played Regan (the possessed girl) in The Exorcist film is miffed she has not been asked to be a part of the new television series. Linda Blair spoke with Forbes about her feelings about the show series, which premieres this Friday on Fox:

"I am looking forward to seeing what they do. They are trying to come up with different scary stories that have to do with the paranormal and exorcism. They keep mentioning my name when they talk about it and I’m like, Stop teasing me. Put up or shut up...They haven’t contacted me or reached out at all. If they want to play ball, let’s play ball. I should be involved but they have never invited me to. So far they have only said it to the press. We wish them all the best, we really do. Geena Davis is a huge fan of it all and I’m a huge fan of hers so of course, I’m going to wish them good luck with it. I don’t want people to fail, that’s not who I am.

I would think the series would want to include Linda in any way they can! Considering the uphill battle of skepticism it's going to face regarding just how far a network television series can push the limits, it couldn't hurt to have some call back to the original!
