The reboot of ‘The Exorcist’, from ‘Halloween Night’ director David Gordon Green, seems to have found the interpreter of one of its key roles in the cast of ‘Black Panther’. As confirmed by Deadline, the actress of the film about the king of Wakanda and “Hidden Figures”.’, Lidya Jewett, joins the cast of Green’s new horror filmwhich already included Leslie Odom Jr, Ann Dowd, and original film star Ellen Burstyn.
In previous statements about the film, it has been revealed that Odom’s role would be that of a father who searches for Chris MacNeil (Burstyn) after his daughter is possessed. Analyzing the cast, the roles already assigned, and taking into account the recent addition of Jewett, one could speculate that she will play Odom’s daughter.
As confirmed by Burstyn in an interview, filming began covertly and scenes featuring her were filmed before principal photography officially began. The aforementioned filming was taking place last year but had to be interrupted due to Odom’s health problem, from which he has already recovered, so The recordings have been resumed.
Production comes from Blumhouse, Morgan Creek, Universal and Peacock. David Gordon Green will be behind the cameras, working on a script he wrote with Petter Sattler and has finished co-creating with his “Halloween Kills” collaborators Scott Teems and Danny McBride. The idea would be that this was the first of a trilogyJust like in the Halloween movies.
Following in the footsteps of ‘Halloween’
Jason Blum, CEO of the aforementioned production company, showed his high expectations for the film, comparing it to the successful ‘Halloween’ reboot. “The first ‘Halloween’ movie was great, the second one was okay and the others weren’t so good anymore. And we came in and you can tell we sort of shaped it and people liked it, so I hope we can do the same with “The Exorcist”. Everyone thinks we’re going to crash, but we have the same director and the same writer, David Gordon Green and Danny McBride. And I think so we’re going to reinvent “The Exorcist” to make it feel like something fresh, new, differentalthough, you know, related to the first movie, but also very, very scary.”.
