Mike Flanagan, a director of many famous horror films, has been appointed by the production house Blumhouse to direct the latest film from the THE EXORCIST franchise. However, the title and plot of the film are still kept secret, although it is confirmed not to be THE EXORCIST: DECEIVER, the sequel to THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER (2023). Mike Flanagan is very happy and excited to work on the film. He has stated that his previous work, titled THE EXORCIST (1973), is a work that inspired him as a director.
"The Exorcist is one of the reasons I became a director, it is an honor to try to create something new and terrifying in that universe," said Mike Flanagan in a news article on ScreenRant on Thursday, May 30, 2024.
The upcoming project is also a reunion with the production house Blumhouse. Previously, they collaborated on the production of the horror films OCULUS in 2013 and HUSH in 2016. Not only that, Mike Flanagan also saved the Blumhouse production film OUIJA, which was released in 2014. The film OUIJA (2016) was originally directed by Stiles White based on a script he co-wrote with Juliet Snowden.

With his remarkable track record, Mike Flanagan is the right person for THE EXORCIST franchise. His ability to combine supernatural and psychological elements is able to produce new and fresh interpretations without ruining the story of THE EXORCIST.
Mike Flanagan will work on this film project with a new approach and does not consider this film as a sequel to THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER.

THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER was initially planned to kickstart a new trilogy. However, the film received many negative reviews from critics and audiences. It was considered a failure in reviving the chilling atmosphere of the original film. Director THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER, David Gordon Green, decided to step down from the sequel project in January 2024.
This decision paved the way for Mike Flanagan to take over the role with a fresh new vision. Mike Flanagan is praised for offering and delivering a truly new, fresh, and independent horror experience from the previous films.
