More "Exorcist" Prequel Issues
Script changes follow directorial changes and reshoots.

In the latest in a series of changes to the movie, Alexi Hawley (screenwriter for Pascal Franchot's upcoming "Grimm") has stepped in to "do a production polish" on the "Exorcist: The Beginning" script. Director Paul Schrader left the project earlier this year shortly after delivering the finished film to Morgan Creek. Reportedly, the studio felt the movie wasn't blood enough, while Schrader turned in a film high in psychological tension and horror. Morgan Creek then hired on Renny Harlin ("Nightmare on Elm Street 4") to reshoot several scenes - presumably to add whatever amount of gore they felt was lacking.

What effect will all these changes in direction have on the final film? Audiences should find out later in 2004.

Exorcist will bomb
Fuck Hollywood. Unoriginal bastards can't do shit without some moron in a mask, a weekly idiot from WB programming or reality TV, or tons of blood. Maybe thats why lately I'm more into watching older films.
