The Exorcist: Believer director is sharing his thoughts on adapting a beloved franchise without relying on fan-service TheExorcist. Universal TheExorcistBeliever
filmmaker says it's important to walk a fine line, admitting,"I think every filmmaker should make radical choices. If you're just trying to do fan service, you're gonna get lost. The DNA of this movie is parenting: your home life getting rocked by your child not acting like your child. My effort is to make it as human and relatable as we can and not get so caught up in the far-out supernatural of it.
The director then continues,"One of the things we do is bring a lot of different religious perspectives into the discussion of exorcism. It's not just assuming that Catholics are in charge of demonic possession as a ritual. We need to acknowledge that there's other ways out of this catastrophe than just one, and that's where it gets complicated. It's not so clearly defined in this movie. We don't have Max Von Sydow show up at the 11th hour.
