Mike Flanagan is bringing The Exorcist back to the big screen with a brand new take, and the film has been dated for theatrical release by Universal Pictures tonight.
Mike Flanagan’s The Exorcist will release in theaters March 12, 2027.
Scarlett Johansson and Jacobi Jupe are leading the new movie’s cast.
Flanagan — the horror master behind “The Haunting of Hill House,” “Midnight Mass,“ and Doctor Sleep — is writing & directing the all-new story set in The Exorcist universe.
Plot details remain under wraps at this time, but we know that the upcoming film is not a remake of the 1973 horror classic or a sequel to 2023’s The Exorcist: Believer.
Flanagan is producing via his Red Room Pictures banner alongside Jason Blum for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and David Robinson for Morgan Creek Entertainment.
“This is an opportunity to do something that I believe has never been done within the franchise — something that honors what came before it but isn’t built on nostalgia,“ Flanagan previously said of the project. “I really just saw an opportunity to make the scariest movie I’ve ever made. I know expectations are high. No one’s more intimidated than I am.”
