David Gordon Green To Begin Filming On 'THE EXORCIST' Reboot Soon

Halloween is done…for now, but what is next for director David Gordon Green? Well he’s set to take on the devil in a new three part Exorcist trilogy. We have word that the filming for that is soon to get underway as well. Does Gordon Green ever sleep? We have no idea.

Gordon Green is directing for Universal, Blumhouse and Morgan Creek that will pave the way for a planned trilogy as we stated earlier. The first film in the trilogy will be released theatrically on October 13, 2023, and filming is set to begin in the coming weeks.

“We start in a couple of weeks, and we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and dive into the next great franchise,” Gordon Green told Variety just last week. “We’ve got an amazing cast coming together and scripts we’re all excited about.”

He continues, “[I’m] honored to step into something that’s so valuable within cinema history. And knowing that there is a fanbase that is curious, aware, alert, potentially concerned to see what we’re up to. What I like is, people say, ‘Is it stressful?’ No, it’s exciting because I spent so much of my life making movies, and you’re just begging an audience to tune in, or see what’s going on, or buy tickets to the movie. With these, I’ve got stories to tell, I’ve got an imagination to express, and the way I can do that within these movies is an incredible opportunity.”

Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton, Knives Out 2) will star in the new Exorcist trilogy, the first of which is confirmed to be directed by Gordon Green. And Ellen Burstyn is back as Chris MacNeil.

Ann Dowd (Hereditary) is also on board to star.

The first plot details we were provided with last year tease, “Odom Jr. will play the father of a possessed child. Desperate for help, he tracks down Ms. Burstyn’s character.”
