In the United States, the MPAA has awarded the R censorship visa (ban on minors for "violence, gruesome images, strong language and sexual references") to the horror film The Exorcist: The Believer, the first film in the trilogy sequel to the 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 October 12 with Universal Pictures.
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 William Friedkin's film, missing director 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.
