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.
