It also failed at the box office in part due to the reception of Exorcist II. Blatty won an Oscar for adapting his own book of the same name into the first movie, and eventually wrote and directed the single Exorcist sequel worth a damn, Exorcist III(1990)-but even then that was only a tangentially connected semi-spinoff of the original film that utterly ignored Exorcist II.

While the movie unfortunately saw Linda Blair, Max von Sydow, and Kitty Winn return and somewhat besmirch their characters from William FriedkinвЂ™s 1973 masterpiece, Burstyn was vindicated by how scathingly the movie was received, including by the author and screenwriter of the first Exorcist, William Peter Blatty. Burstyn famously declined appearing in John BoormanвЂ™s misbegotten Exorcist II, which arguably sank all interest in the series as a franchise for a generation (more on that in a moment).

Producer Jason Blum recently revealed to Den of Geek that David Gordon Green was writing a sequel to the seminal 1973 horror movie which would вЂњbe like DavidвЂ™s Halloween sequel,вЂќ referencing the 2018 reboot that ignored all the previous Halloween follow-ups and acted as a definitive follow-up to the 1978 original. Indeed, an entire trilogy of The Exorcist sequels is now taking shape at Blumhouse Productions, Universal Pictures, and Peacock, and the new movies will even see Ellen Burstyn reprise the role of Chris MacNeil for the first time in 50 years.
