Diane Lane Possessed for Mike Flanagan’s ‘The Exorcist’ Reimagining
Diane Lane (Y: The Last Man, Man of Steel, Streets of Fire) has closed a deal to star alongside Scarlett Johansson and Jacobi Jupe in the next installment of the iconic horror franchise The Exorcist, from filmmaker Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Hush, Doctor Sleep), Deadline reports.
No word on the role Lane will play and plot details are being kept under wraps. What’s known is that the film will tell an all-new story set in The Exorcist universe and is not a sequel to 2023’s The Exorcist: Believer. It’s also rumored to be titled The Exorcist: Martyrs.
The power of Christ has compelled Universal Pictures to release Flanagan‘s fresh take on The Exorcist in theaters on March 12, 2027.
The Exorcist franchise includes The Exorcist (1973), Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977), The Exorcist III (1990), Exorcist: The Beginning (2004), Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist (2005), “The Exorcist” (TV series, 2016–2018), and The Exorcist: Believer (2023).
Flanagan will direct from his own script, with production taking place in New York City. He’s also producing via his Red Room Pictures banner, alongside David Robinson for Morgan Creek Entertainment, and Jason Blum for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster. Exec producers include Alexandra Magistro for Red Room Pictures and Ryan Turek for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.
