Director David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer is set to reach theatres in October, and a new poster is now online
Warning us that “evil writes a new chapter” this October, Universal Pictures UK has unveiled a new poster for director David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer on X (formerly known as Twitter, which it will always be as far as I’m concerned), and you can now take a look at that poster at the bottom of this article. The Exorcist: Believer is scheduled to reach theatres on October 13th.
Coming our way from Blumhouse Productions and Morgan Creek Entertainment, the film is the first in what is expected to be a new trilogy of Exorcist sequels. Universal and Peacock paid a sum of around $400 million for the rights to distribute the trilogy. It has already been announced that the next sequel, titled The Exorcist: Deceiver, will be reaching theatres on April 18, 2025.
Green previously directed a trilogy of Halloween sequels. He crafted the story for The Exorcist: Believer with Danny McBride (who wrote all three of the new Halloweens with him) and their Halloween Kills co-writer Scott Teems, then wrote the screenplay with Peter Sattler (Broken Diamonds). Here’s a synopsis of the movie: Since his wife died in a Haitian earthquake twelve years ago, Victor Fielding raised their daughter alone. But when Angela and her friend Katherine, disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before: Chris MacNeil.
Ellen Burstyn reprises the role of Chris MacNeil, the character she played in the 1973 classic The Exorcist (watch it HERE), “an actress who has been forever altered by what happened to her daughter Regan five decades before.” Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton) plays Victor Fielding, with Lidya Jewett (Nightbooks) as Angela and newcomer Olivia Marcum as her friend Katherine. Ann Dowd (The Handmaid’s Tale) plays Victor and Angela’s neighbor, and Jennifer Nettles (The Righteous Gemstones) and Norbert Leo Butz (Fosse/Verdon) play Katherine’s parents.
Okwui Okpokwasili (Master) is also in the cast, playing an unspecified role, and Raphael Sbarge (Carnosaur) plays a pastor. Linda Blair, who played Chris MacNeil’s daughter Regan in the original The exorcist, is also in this remake. Green, Danny McBride Stephanie Allain and Couper Samuelson are executive producers. Ryan Turek is overseeing the project for Blumhouse.
