This article is part of a directory: Mike Flanagan's Exorcist Movie: Confirmation & Everything We Know PreviousMike Flanagan In Talks For New Exorcist Movie After Believer Director Stepped Down Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With the acclaimed filmmaker now confirmed to be working on the studio's second attempt to revive the franchise, Mike Flanagan confirms Blumhouse's next Exorcist movie won't include one of his trademarks.
Part of what I said to Blumhouse and Universal when we were discussing this was I don’t think this is a monologue project. The ritual itself is something of a monologue, but we’ve seen that. We’ve seen somebody shout prayers at somebody. That was scary 50 years ago, I don’t see that working here. We just think it’s theatrical, and younger audiences drive horror. That’s a fact.
Flanagan's Exorcist Plan Is A Great New Direction For The Franchise Close Flanagan's joke regarding his propensity for extensive monologues about religion is sure to ring true to those who watched Netflix's Midnight Mass.
While his promise of wanting to make something more directly scary is already a promising sign for the film, Flanagan's overall plan for the next Exorcist movie looks to bring a great new direction for the franchise as a whole. To his point, the original William Friedkin-helmed classic did largely relish in the conflict between faith and skepticism, and how the latter could make things even worse for those dealing with the possessed.
