Three Demonic Posters of Possessed Children For THE EXORCIST Reboot
Blumhouse has released three creepy posters for director David Gordon Green’s upcoming reboot of The Exorcist, which is titled The Exorcist: Believer. This is the first film in the trilogy and the paster features two children who have been possessed by the Devil!
This reboot is described as a legacy sequel that will take place after the events of the original 1973 film. It’s also going to be a trilogy, and this first film focuses on two young girls who become possessed at the same time. Green previously teased what we can expect from it, saying:
"I think we'll learn from the production on the first one to see what applies as we evolve. It's honoring Chris MacNeil and we're checking in on her 50 years later, so it's a significant evolution in her character, but I think it'll be really fun to explore.
"We're about to begin on a very different type of technical journey than Halloween. I don't even necessarily categorize it as a horror film, although it's very horror appealing, it's psychological and dramatic. It doesn't have the fun tension-breakers that Halloween would have, because you can't lean into any of the more campy qualities that I think we enjoy from time to time in the Halloween movies. It's dead serious and pretty straightforward, and I don't know, I'm excited about it."
The upcoming film features a cast that includes Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair, who will be featured in the film alongside Leslie Odom Jr., Lidya Jewett, Jennifer Nettles, Ann Dowd, Raphael Sbarge, Okwui Okpokwasili, and Olivia Marcum.
The first film in the trilogy will be released theatrically on October 13, 2023.
