“The Exorcist” Art Has Its Head on Backwards
EW has the first art for FOX’s “The Exorcist” that shows a little girl with her head turned complete around. I think the tagline says it all: “There is a fate worse than death.”
Jeremy Slater, who penned the pilot, explained to the site that the series is not a remake of the famous film of the same name.
If you watch the pilot, you’ll see that we have some…homages to some of the famous moments [from the film]. You’ll see there’s a scene where they reference the original exorcisms in Georgetown.That’s our way of letting fans know that the story you love isn’t being written out of existence. [But] this is a new story with new characters that takes place in the same universe as the original film.
In an essence, “The Exorcist” is a sequel series, which is Hollywood’s new way of avoiding the “remake” moniker.
You can see tons of footage and read more about the series in our previous story out of the San Diego Comic-Con.
“The Exorcist” is set to debut on Friday, September 23rd from 9 to 10PM.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
