“The Exorcist” TV pilot is now filming in the Chicago area and there is a casting call out to fill a few small roles.
Chicago’s 4 Star Casting has released the show’s extras casting needs which Male, African American, Age Range: 16-19. The Exorcist is looking to cast Chicago area talent who are available to work on set sometime between the 8th of March and the 31st of March 2016.
1970s horror classic, The Exorcist, may be coming to the small screen. FOX has ordered a TV series pilot for a new version of “The Exorcist” which they are hoping will get some heads turning and tuning in to a modern re-telling of the story. The new show is based on William Peter Blatty’s bestselling book, The Exorcist. The network describes the show as “a propulsive, serialized psychological thriller following two very different men tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession, and confronting the face of true evil.”
According to a recent story in Deadline, Brianne Howey (“Scream Queens”) has landed one of the show’s lead roles. She will play a former ballet dancer named Charlotte, who suffers a horrible accident. Charlotte, now spiraling into a deep depression, has closed herself off from her mother and the world. Her mother comes to believe that her problems may be supernatural in nature and Charlotte may be possessed by a demon.
“The Fantastic Four” writer, Jeremy Slater is on-board as the shows writer and producer. In the last few years we have been seeing a trend in studios taking hugely popular films, and adapting them into an ongoing TV series. Two horror franchises saw success with TV shows, the Psycho series, “Bates Motel” and MTV’s new “Scream series.” The original film adaptation of “The Exorcist” is still ranked as one of the scariest films of all time. The Exorcist is one of 5 franchises that Morgan Creek is hoping to remake. The others include “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” “Major League,” “Young Guns,” and “Flying Tigers.” After the announcement of an “Exorcist” remake, many fans were up in arms and Morgan Creek replied with a statement, according to IMDB, that they would not be remaking the horror classic. Seems all of that has now changes since the show is filming in the Chicago area.
