Check Out the Hot Trailer for THE EXORCIST the TV series

This is the 40th Anniversary of THE EXORCIST

This film changed the game in 1973 and nothing has matched it ever since. When I saw this movie as a child, I wasn't scared, I was fascinated.

I didn't understand the story, but I loved the effects, the screaming, and the acting. This film is a powerful thing and if you haven't seen it... Please do so.

The Exorcist... TV Series?

This is not really cute, but, well... look out for The Exorcist the series.

Vulture reports:

Sean Durkin, the writer-director of last year’s excellent but criminally underseen Elizabeth Olsen thriller Martha Marcy May Marlene, is adapting the fiendish classic into a ten-episode television series, this time backed by Morgan Creek and produced by Roy Lee, the executive producer of films like The Departed and The Ring.

Unlike the iconic 1973 film, Durkin’s version of The Exorcist follows the events leading up to a demonic possession and especially the after-effects of how a family copes with it: In short, not well (really, after you start seeing stuff like this, can you blame them?), and when medical and psychiatric explanations fail, the desperate family turns to the church, with Father Damien Karras finally brought in to attempt the exorcism.

The Exorcist TV series won't be formally shopped to networks for another two weeks, but executives are already calling seeking meetings to inquire about landing the Durkin update.

Noooooo! Really? Just made this a TV movie and call it a day. In fact, use different characters and call it something else.
