When it involves the horror category, it currently appears that Jason Blum’s Blumhouse is trying to accumulate as many classic franchise business on its books as possible, as having currently belonged to the Halloween reboot, it was confirmed in 2015 that The Exorcist reboot was following on the hit checklist with a trilogy of motion pictures that will continue the existing reboot fad of linking to the original flick and also mainly overlooking the follows up that are already out there. David Gordon Green, who has actually lagged the video camera on the new Halloween trilogy which will pertain to an end with Halloween Kills following year, will be moving onto the Exorcist films next, as well as it looks like he now has actually chosen that he wishes to guide all three motion pictures.
Talking to Collider concerning a variety of different subjects, Green was inquired about his following franchise task and also confirmed that he will certainly be co-writing as well as routing all 3 of the brand-new Exorcist films, stating “That’s the concept now, yeah.” He went on to expose that “the very first among our trilogy is created and also the second two are being detailed. So we have actually obtained a methods to go on that, however we know where we’re going. It’s a brand-new journey [with] some familiar characters and some brand-new ones also.”
While it seems on the surface like going right from Halloween into The Exorcist would just be even more of the same type of work, David Gordon Eco-friendly made it clear that the two motion picture franchise business are totally different from each various other. “To me, it’s as different as making Stronger as well as Pineapple Express. They’re so extremely different. One is really primitive as well as the various other is really scholastic. So it’s just trying to switch over gears there. I’m sure I’ll understand more a year from currently when I have actually gotten a handle on what Exorcist is. The manuscript’s created. As well as it was an extremely, entirely different creating process.”
It might seem like an odd comparison for Environment-friendly to make, as the difference in between the Boston Marathon battle dramatization Stronger and the Seth Rogen activity comedy Pineapple Express appears widely evident, whereas Halloween and The Exorcist do being in the exact same genre. Nonetheless, it might quickly be argued that covering a quiet murderer killing anything that relocates must be less of a difficulty in contrast to handling the numerous various story angles called for to tell a story of belongings as well as the mental scary that brings with it.
Green teased the work he has been doing on the brand-new Exorcist movies in a Total Film meeting, including having actually written the very first motion picture manuscript throughout Covid lockdown. “The Exorcist has actually been created. That was one of my pandemic jobs. It’s not incorrect [that it will be a sequel to the initial movie] I like all the Exorcist movies. As well as not just do I like them, I think they can all fall into the appropriate folklore for what I’m doing. It’s not like I’m stating, ‘Make believe that The Exorcist 2 never took place.’ That’s fine to exist. They’re all fine to exist, and also I delight in every one of them. That one is a great deal of study, instead of just spontaneous screenwriting. That’s one that you speak with a great deal of people. You reviewed a lot of books, and do a sh-tload of meetings. There was such a significant credibility to what that initial film is. It’s a great deal greater than I expected getting into it. And also I think I was naive to think that. But it was very thrilling to be involved in a great deal of those discussions that you discover on your own in.”
The first movie in The Exorcist trilogy will certainly premiere on October 13th, 2023 in movie theaters as well as be offered for streaming right after on Peacock, after Universal got the entire trilogy for a hefty $400 million cost. This information concerns us from Collider.
