What does this mean for the recently completed Exorcist: The Beginning? It's been released that Morgan Creek has dropped director Paul Schrader before post production began on the prequel to the 1973 classic film. What will they do now? Read on for all the details.
Mills and Brandon H. informed me that Gossip column Page Six of the New York Post writes that director Paul Schrader has been fired from Exorcist: The Beginning because he didn't put in enough blood, guts and vomit in the film. This is strikingly unusual of a company to fire its director after the film has already been shot. Here's the plan for the future of the film...
One production source told PAGE SIX, "[Morgan Creek] was just so excited with having a marquee name, they didn't bother with the details."
"The whole movie is done," another source said. "When Paul went to turn it in, Morgan Creek refused to give him his post-production money because they hated it. Paul had given them what was in the script - a creepy psychological thriller, with no gore.
"Morgan Creek wanted gore. They think that will sell. There were huge fights between Paul, who is more artistic, and the company, and earlier this week Paul was fired. They are planning on hiring a new director to reshoot some scenes."
"They'll probably have the new director shoot a couple of [gory] scenes. Paul is a great filmmaker; there was just something different Morgan Creek had in mind."
I don't know if I want to even see this movie anymore, it sounds like a mess!
