“The idea is we built a road map that I think has so many different avenues that we could take. The world of exorcism and possession is so vast.'
The Big Picture In 1973, filmmaker William Friedkin broke the mold of what was possible for horror films when he adapted William Peter Blatty’s novel The Exorcist for the big screen. After the release of the critically acclaimed film, a franchise was born, spawning two sequels and two prequels from Friedkin’s original production.
While Green is the helmer for The Exorcist: Believer, it’s been unclear whether he’ll be taking on the job for the follow-up films. “We’ll see, we’ll see,” Green said with a laugh when asked by Weintraub. “The idea is we built a road map that I think has so many different avenues that we could take. The world of exorcism and possession is so vast.
Although Green has his “road map” in place for the next few films, he also says, “I wanna make sure I’m not so meticulously locked into a structure or a concept that I can’t deviate,” giving himself some wiggle room to take “an opportunity or an improvisation or a detour that feels appealing.
David Gordon Green’s Affinity for Horror Trilogies Comedy fans will undoubtedly tie Green’s name to titles including Pineapple Express and Your Highness but most recently, the filmmaker took on another spooky-scary universe when he sat down in the director’s chair for the final chapters of the Halloween franchise. Through 2018’s Halloween, 2021’s Halloween Kills, and 2022’s Halloween Ends, Green shaped the final installments of Jamie Lee Curtis’ run as Laurie Strode.
The Exorcist: Believer is in theaters on October 6. Look for more from our interview with David Gordon Green soon.
