The Exorcist: A Modern Take on a Classic Horror Tale Set to Haunt Theaters in 2027
A highly anticipated exorcism is set to take place at the box office in spring 2027. The upcoming movie "The Exorcist," directed by Mike Flanagan, features a star-studded cast including Scarlett Johansson and Jacobi Jupe. Scheduled for release on March 12, 2027, this new installment promises a fresh and innovative approach to the iconic horror franchise. Flanagan takes on the roles of writer, director, and producer for this project, which is a collaboration between Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, Morgan Creek Entertainment, and Red Room Pictures.
The original "Exorcist" film, directed by William Friedkin, captivated audiences in 1973 with its chilling tale of demonic possession. Starring Ellen Burstyn and Linda Blair, the movie garnered critical acclaim and box office success, grossing $441 million worldwide and receiving 10 Oscar nominations. Universal acquired the rights to a new trilogy in 2021, with the first installment, "The Exorcist: Believer," hitting theaters in 2023 and featuring Burstyn reprising her role as Chris MacNeil. The upcoming film by Flanagan will exist within the same universe as the original but will offer a unique story that is not a direct sequel to "Believer."
As fans eagerly await the release of "The Exorcist" in 2027, the anticipation continues to build for this modern take on a classic horror tale. Stay tuned for more updates and details about this highly anticipated film.
