That would probably be the only way they get around the 'no remake' clause William Friedkin referred to in the Tweet he sent in September:



Fox would say it isn't a remake because it is a television adaptation of the book, similar to Mick Garris and Stephen King making a TV version of The Shining 17 years after Stanley Kubrick helmed a theatrical version.

If they can pull it off like Starz did with Ash vs Evil Dead, then it might be worth watching, but I'm not holding my breath. Like you, I'm a huge fan of the Exorcist, so anything less than amazing just won't do

At least with Ash vs Evil Dead, it had the creative input of the people behind the original films and Bruce Campbell is playing Ash. With this version of The Exorcist, no one can possibly fill Max von Sydow's shoes as Father Merrin, nor Jason Miller in the role of Father Karras, Ellen Burstyn as Chris MacNeil, Linda Blair as Regan etc., etc., etc.

I also struggle to think of any way a modern director would be able to approach it with the same documentary-style realism Friedkin did with aspects of the 1973 film to such devastating effect. There will also be the input of CGI instead of practical effects, or limited practical effects 'enhanced' with CGI.
