On Wednesday, CinemaCon attendees got to check out some exclusive footage from David Gordon Green's upcoming Exorcist trilogy titled The Exorcist: Believer.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “The Exorcist: Believer kicks off after the Devil take over the bodies of two children. In the trailer, a father drops his daughter off at school, but then she and a friend go missing after school. When they are found in the woods, they seem changed and unaware that they were gone three days, believing it’d only been just a few hours.
“At another point in the trailer, one of the girls — covered in communion wine — walks into a church mass, screaming at the priest: “The body and the blood!” Finally, the parents call upon Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn, who is reprising her role from the original film). She attempts to help the girls, one of whom has been carving her daughter’s name on her stomach.”
Again, this The Exorcist: Believer trailer is NOT available online, so don’t bother going to look for it. But we do expect some official marketing to hit the net soon. Stay tuned.
Gordon Green is directing the brand new sequel to The Exorcist for Universal, Blumhouse and Morgan Creek that as stated above will pave the way for a new trilogy. The first film in the trilogy will be released theatrically on October 13, 2023, with Leslie Odom Jr. playing the father of a possessed child, who, out of desperation tracks down Ellen Burstyn’s character Chris MacNeil.”
There's word that Linda Blair is part of the film as well, but to what capacity is unknown.
Peter Sattler (Broken Diamonds) and Gordon Green wrote the script for Believer, which features a story by Green, Scott Teems (Halloween Kills) and Danny McBride (Halloween).
The Exorcist: Believer is slated for an October 13 release.
