Mike Flanagan Promises His Exorcist Movie Will Be ‘Really Scary’
Mike Flanagan, one of modern horror’s most interesting auteurs (Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep) is taking over the revamping of The Exorcist franchise for Blumhouse, and has now offered a terrifyingly promising update regarding his horror sequel. After Jason Blum’s company teamed up with Morgan Creek Entertainment for a new trilogy, David Gordon Green led the project and directed The Exorcist: Believer, the 2023 follow-up to the original 1973 feature. The results weren’t as great as producers expected, and weeks after the release, Green exited the planned trilogy.
