William Friedkin Annouces Exorcist Mini-Series
The Original The Exorcist (1973) may be the scariest movie ever made to date. Linda Blair ‘s potrayal of the possessed Regan, head spinning and vomit spitting little demon child, has been unmatched on screen by any attempts to duplicate or emulate. The Exoricst will always stand alone with a unique brand of creepiness.
Thirty-six years later, writer and director, William Peter Blatty and William Friedkin may reunite to bring their classic horror film to the small screen. Recent statements by the duo confirm that they are both signed on for an upcoming mini-series. While little details are available and no word whether or not Blair will make a cameo, the project does seem to be in the works.
While my opinon of remakes, re-imaginings, and most adaptations tend to be pretty low, I am curious but more cautious. It’s nearly impossible to return home again and reclaim a once found magic no matter what dynamic duo reunites, but we will wait and see. Choice of what network is going to air this project, alone, may dictate it’s ability to have it’s audience’s head’s spinning or just their eyes rolling. Again, we’ll just have to wait this one out.
