Five years after it was launched, the Halloween legacyquel trilogy has come to an end. Director David Gordon Green successfully revived the slasher franchise in 2018 with his fantastic albeit simply named Halloween, and in the years that followed he delivered some extreme brutality and scares with both Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends. Now, Gordon Green is moving on to another legendary title within the horror genre, planning out a brand new legacyquel trilogy for The Exorcist, and the first ever look at the movie kicking off the exciting new run was debuted today at CinemaCon.
Universal Pictures held its big slate presentation this afternoon at the annual Las Vegas convention for theater owners, and not only was the official title of the next Exorcist movie revealed – The Exorcist: Believer – but those in attendance also got to see footage from the feature. The film stars Leslie Odom Jr. and Ellen Burstyn, who is reprising her role as Chris MacNeil from the terrifying original (for an awesome and surprising reason), and it appears that it is going to be a seriously scary fright fest.
