Warner Bros. Planning a Remake of 'The Exorcist'?!

After the Poltergeist remake debacle - which is still a fact no matter what any jackass says - we've been hesitant to reveal that there are rumblings in Hollywood about a remake to the scariest film ever made... The Exorcist. Today IESB received an e-mail from a scooper who attended this past weekend's International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival who claims that original star Linda Blair hinted at the possibilities of a remake. Maybe there's something to the buzz? Watch for some sort of follow up as soon as it hits the web and make sure to sign us up for the first ones against the idea. VETO!

Oh son of a bitch! Well I think we all knew this was gonna happen sooner or later. If Halloween could be remade then nothing is sacred.

well i dont mind remakes because the originals are not being touched. I hate when people say remakes ruin the original, last time i checked this is a remake is a totally different film.So although i think its the most stupid idea Warner Bros could ever think of i say who cares.

I knew this would happen. I remember like 3 or 4 years ago there were talks about it.

The thing about remakes is that they almost always end up making the original look 10 times better.

This is getting ridiculous. Horror is being reduced to nothing but remakes and sequels. WTF?

Someone has jumped to major conclusions here... this is a total RUMOUR and stems from the video interview on my site (www.captainhowdy.com) where Linda talks about PAST remake discussions (BEFORE the prequel(s) were made).

I stand corrected - the video mentioned is NOT from the same event. Oh dear.

cool. Remakes don't take away from the original movie.so I'm glad their remaking this one.

Well, to do it right they will have to have a spider walk scene. Also, the original contains two very famous movie quotes: "the power of Christ compells you" and "she advised that I keep my fingers away from her goddamn cunt". A remake won't be the same without them.

Whats with all the remakes? Why can't people just write their own brand new movies?
