I shit you not folks. And get this: It’s coming from the same duo who brought us the classic film! Whoa… let’s take a step back. You see EXORCIST scriber William Peter Blatty recently chatted with Cemetary Dance magazine where he divulged the juicy information. The scoop came in the answer to a question asking if there’s anything Blatty would change about his epic story:
“Yes and no. I would love to have been able to include the subplot involving Karl and his daughter Elvira which I did in my first draft, but that script ran to 172 pages, much, much too long. But I might have it my way in the near future, inasmuch as I’ve written an Exorcist miniseries script that not only faithfully includes all the main elements of the novel, but also some rather spooky new material and scenes, as well as a totally new (and perhaps much more satisfying) ending. I’ve also updated it. Billy Friedkin has agreed to direct.”
So that’s that. That’s the only info Blatty gives us. So what do you guys think? This project a good idea? Hit some bullets below with your opinion on the matter! Hopefully we’ll hear a lot more about this potential mini-series very soon so be sure to check back for that. In the meantime you can head right over HERE to purchase that issue of Cemetary Dance.
