Mike Flanagan In Talks To Direct Next ‘Exorcist’ Movie For Blumhouse, Universal


Mike Flanagan is in talks to direct the next 'Exorcist' movie for Blumhouse and Universal, sources have confirmed to Deadline.

Starring Leslie Odom Jr. as well as franchise veteran Ellen Burstyn, trilogy launcher The Exorcist: Believer fell beneath expectations when it opened to a soft $26.4M domestic last October, going on to gross $65.5M U.S./Canada, $136.2M WW. Green went on to direct the film Nutcrackers, marking Ben Stiller’s first starring role in six years, also returning to work on the HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones, whose fourth season has not yet been dated for release. Coming off of the Stephen King adaptation The Life of Chuck, starring Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill and more, Flanagan prior to that created The Fall of the House of Usher for Netflix, a gothic horror miniseries taking inspiration from the stories of Edgar Allen Poe.
