Exorcist Reboot Ditches Iconic "Tubular Bells"
18 Oct
Summary
- New Exorcist film will not feature the iconic "Tubular Bells" score.
- Director Mike Flanagan aims to make the scariest Exorcist movie ever.
- The Exorcist: Martyrs is scheduled for release on March 12, 2027.
Mike Flanagan is set to direct a new installment in "The Exorcist" franchise, titled "The Exorcist: Martyrs." This upcoming film, slated for a March 12, 2027 release, will depart from a significant element of its predecessor: the iconic "Tubular Bells" score. Director Flanagan explained this choice stems from his desire to present a fresh, terrifying vision for the storied horror series.
Flanagan aims to deliver "the scariest movie" he has ever made, a goal he plans to achieve by focusing on the primal fear of demonic presence without divine intervention. He aims to push the scare factor beyond what audiences experienced in the original 1970s films, working with his frequent collaborators, the Newton Brothers, to craft a chilling new score.
