Director David Gordon Green’s The Exorcist: Believer didn’t grow to be an excellent movie and numerous the evaluations haven’t been type. As a fan of the unique film, I used to be truly kinda trying ahead to this new trilogy, however this primary movie was an enormous disappointment because the story it advised was utterly uninteresting. It was like the colour by numbers of horror movies.
Green just lately advised the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ A.Frame journal that he was excited to share his movie with The Exorcist director William Friedkin earlier than he handed away:
“I was looking forward to showing [Friedkin] the film, because I never communicated with him. My understanding was that he didn’t want involvement in the film production, but he would give us his thoughts after the movie.”
Well, earlier than Friedkin handed away he did share his ideas on Green reviving The Exorcist franchise. Writer and movie critic Ed Whitfield recently shared an amusing story on X a couple of dialog he had with Friedkin earlier than his passing. He mentioned:
“William Friedkin once said to me, “Ed, the guy who made these new ‘Halloween’ is about to make one to my movie, The Exorcist. That’s right, my signature film is about to be extended by the man who made Pineapple Express. I don’t want to be around when that happens. But if there’s a spirit world, and I come back, I plan to possess David Gordon Green and make his life a living hell.”
So, now we all know what Friedkin thought concerning the movie mission! I simply thought that was hilarious. Regardless, of that, Green and Blumhouse undoubtedly missed the mark on The Excorist: Believer. That was a tough film to get by due to how dangerous it was. Also, I used to be the one individual within the theater once I noticed it! Not signal.
