Following the new release date news, Universal and Blumhouse have released a new trailer for The Exorcist: Believer.
Regarding the new release date, as a result of the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour screening in theaters on Oct. 13, the release date for The Exorcist: Believer has changed to a week prior on Oct. 6.
David Gordon Green, who directed the recent Halloween movies, spoke with Total Film Magazine about bring back Ellen Burstyn who reprises her iconic role as Chris MacNeil.
“It’s incredible. I read her biography, and then it became like a mission: could I invite one of the Hollywood icons to step into this role that she hasn’t been in, in 50 years? That’s a true undertaking,” Green said.
Green continued, “The inspiration that her book gave to me in terms of her perspective after the movie, and how the success of the movie…I say ‘success,’ but also a lot of obstacles and hardships were faced because of the notoriety of the film. So I got to know her, and we swapped literature and ideas, and we evolved this character to be meaningful for Ellen, beyond just a Chris MacNeil revisit.”
