According to the famous film and television media Variety, Universal Pictures recently reached a copyright transaction with Morgan Creek Company claiming to be more than 400 million US dollars, which is the global copyright of the horror movie classic IP "Exorcist".
Universal Pictures plans to produce a new Exorcist trilogy, which featured actress Ellen Burstyn from the 1973 film to play its original role, Chris MacNeil, with David Gordon Green as the film's director.
According to Universal Pictures, the three new Exorcist films filmed this time are not remakes of the original 1973 film, but sequels to the game. It is reported that the first part of the new trilogy will be officially released in theaters on October 13, 2023, and according to the New York Times, the subsequent parts may be premiered in Peacock, a streaming platform owned by Universal Pictures.
