“It will go back into the company to fund more production”. Last week we saw the early rumors that Morgan Creek could possibly be interested in remaking “The Exorcist”.
“For the record, we will never attempt to remake The Exorcist” reads a message of the Morgan Creek Twitter feed.
The Exorcist is the latest Hollywood classic to be graced with a remake, but the original film’s director is not so pleased about the plans.

“The Exorcist” centered on a naïve child who gradually exhibited a odd and aggressive conduct after tinkering with a Quija board game.
Shortly after the news broke last week, director William Friedkin revealed that he doesn’t believe Morgan Creek even owns the rights to the original Exorcist, only the “so-called sequels”. Possessed by the devil she turns into a monster.
