Nosferatu! Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Variety reports that the Fox network has ordered a pilot based on William Peter Blatty’s novel. This incarnation of The Exorcist will be set in modern times, and is described as “a propulsive, serialized psychological thriller” in which two very different men confront a case of demonic possession that leads them to face true evil. The writer is Jeremy Slater, who penned last year’s The Lazarus Effect and co-scripted Adam Wingard’s upcoming adaptation of the manga Death Note, and the production entities are 20th Century Fox Television and Morgan Creek Productions, the latter of which was also behind The Exorcst III, Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist and Exorcist: The Beginning. No other talent has yet been announced. I... don't know how to feel about this, honestly. I'm not too thrilled... ... especially not with Jeremy Slater writing for it.

Turo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Even if I wasn't fond of barf stuff in it, I still really liked the first movie. It was pretty suspensful and dark. This new series is just made for cash and I don't see how can they turn this into a tv series. Have zero expectations for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katniss Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Haven't seen this movie but honestly, why turn it into a TV series? There are exceptions of course but movie-to-TV adaptations aren't the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patty Rose Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I remember watching the movie and not flinching once. Can't say the same thing about video games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elastic Dawg Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 How do you turn something like this into a TV show? Even the sequels were completely different beasts from the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
