Universal has released, online, the backstage featurette of the The Exorcist: The Believer, the first film in the sequel trilogy to The Exorcist (1973).
Written by Peter Sattler and Scott Teems, The Exorcist: The Believer (aka The Exorcist: Believer) is based on the novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty and is directed by David Gordon Green (Halloween, Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends).
The film will arrive in Italian theaters on Oct. 5 with Universal Pictures and no longer on Oct. 12.
The cast includes Raphael Sbarge (The Alien 2, Independence Day, Pearl Harbor), Olivia Marcum, Lidya Jewett (Nightbooks - Tales of Fear), Leslie Odom Jr., Ann Dowd (Hereditary) and Ellen Burstyn. The latter again as Regan's mother, a character she previously played in the film by William Friedkin, a director who died a few days ago at the age of 87.
The history of The Exorcist: The Believer sheds light on two little girls possessed by an evil entity. Desperate for help, the father of one of the two (Leslie Odom Jr.) will ask for help from Mrs. Chris MacNeill (Ellen Burstyn), whose daughter Regan was possessed by Pazuzu many years earlier.
In the United States, the MPAA awarded the film an R censorship visa (ban on minors for "violence, gruesome images, strong language and sexual references").
