Happy International Woman’s Day! One of our favorite women, Geena Davis, who has dedicated her life to help and support women in media with her foundation The Geena Davis Institute On Gender in Media, will star in Fox’s television reboot of the horror classic, The Exorcist.
According to the Hollywood Reporter the remake will have more ties to the 1971 book by William Blatty. Here is the synopsis:
Described as a modern reinvention, the drama pilot is inspired by William Blatty’s 1971 book. The potential series is a propulsive, serialized psychological thriller following two very different men (Alfonso Herrera and Ben Daniels) tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession and confronting the face of true evil.
Davis will play Angela Rance, a beautiful, regal and proud woman who, while weighed down by stress, does everything she can to stay positive and keep her faith even though her family is currently struggling. She can’t help but think, however, if perhaps her nightmares about a demon are a sign of what’s wrong.
Alfonso Herrera and Ben Daniels will star as two priests and Brianne Howey, Hannah Kasulka, Kurt Egyiawan will co-star in the series written by Jeremy Slater. Rupert Wyatt who directed Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, will direct the pilot. Both Slater and Wyatt will be executive producers.
