Exorcist Seeks to Possess TVs

 

Sean Durkin, the writer-director of the critically acclaimed 2011 drama Martha Marcy May Marlene, is resurrecting The Exorcist as a 10-episode television series, Vulture reports.

Unlike director William Friedkin’s 1973 horror classic, or the William Peter Blatty novel on which it was based, this project will focus more on the events leading up to a demonic possession and how the family copes with the after-effects.

Morgan Creek is producing the series, which it will begin shopping to networks in the next couple of weeks.
