Diane Lane (Unfaithful) has been cast in Mike Flanagan’s new take on The Exorcist, Deadline reports.
The Academy Award nominee will star alongside Scarlett Johansson and Jacobi Jupe (Hamnet) in the film, due out on March 12, 2027 via Universal.
Flanagan — the visionary behind “The Haunting of Hill House,” “Midnight Mass,“ and Doctor Sleep — is writing and directing the all-new story set in The Exorcist universe.
Plot details remain under wraps, but the film is neither a remake of William Friedkin’s 1974 horror classic nor a sequel to 2023’s The Exorcist: Believer.
Flanagan is producing via his Red Room Pictures banner alongside Jason Blum for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and David Robinson for Morgan Creek Entertainment.
Executive producers include Red Room’s Alexandra Magistro and Blumhouse’s Ryan Turek.
“This is an opportunity to do something that I believe has never been done within the franchise — something that honors what came before it but isn’t built on nostalgia,“ Flanagan said of the project. “I really just saw an opportunity to make the scariest movie I’ve ever made. I know expectations are high. No one’s more intimidated than I am.”
The Exorcist is gearing up to enter production in New York City in the spring.
