We told you a couple of weeks ago that a new version of “The Exorcist” would be heading to the small screen as a series, and today we know who one of the folks at the reins will be. Deadline is reporting that Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) is set to direct Fox’s pilot, a modern reinvention inspired by William Blatty’s 1971 book.
Written by Jeremy Slater, “The Exorcist” is described as a propulsive, serialized psychological thriller following two very different men tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession and confronting the face of true evil.
Speaking of the face of true evil… guys… get Eileen Dietz back as Pazuzu. No one else could pull it off better, and it will at the very least lend some authenticity to the project… please?
