Tickets are on sale now for The Exorcist: Believer, which opens in theaters on October 6. Following his revitalization of the Halloween franchise, director David Gordon Green takes a fresh look at another horror classic.
Once upon a time, a girl named Regan was possessed by a demon, and her frantic mother arranged for an exorcism. Now, two girls have come back from an excursion into the woods exhibiting some symptoms familiar to anyone who may heard about the events of 1973’s The Exorcist. Desperate, the father of one of the girls (Leslie Odom Jr.) seeks out the one person who he knows has been in this position before: Regan’s mother Chris (a returning Ellen Burstyn).
We had a few questions after we watched the trailer for The Exorcist: Believer, so we went straight to the best source for answers: Director David Gordon Green himself. What kind of nods to the original movie can fans expect? Do you need to have seen the original to appreciate the new movie? What does he hope audiences take away from the experience? Check out his answers below, and be sure to get your tickets right here at Fandango.
