Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch, the writers and directors of last year’s Starry Eyes, have been hired to rewrite the initial script for Exorcism Diaries, which is based on the true story that inspired The Exorcist, according to THR. The original script was written by Mike Flanagan and Jeff Howard.
The site reports the synopsis:
Based on true story that inspired the 1970s horror classic The Exorcist, Diaries tells of a young woman, fresh out of rehab and looking to make amends, who discovers her family’s horrifying connection to the most famous exorcism of all time may be the cause behind her brother’s increasingly violent behavior.
