Mike Flanagan’s The Exorcist Wraps Production

Overview

• Filming officially wrapped on the project, a milestone Mike Flanagan announced on Instagram that was reported June 10 and moves the film into post-production.
• Flanagan says the movie is not a remake or a direct sequel but an original story set in The Exorcist universe, a creative shift prompted by the weak reception of the 2023 reboot.
• The ensemble cast includes Scarlett Johansson, Diane Lane, Jacobi Jupe, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sasha Calle, John Leguizamo and several of Flanagan’s regular collaborators.
• Flanagan is producing through Red Room Pictures with Jason Blum’s Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and David Robinson’s Morgan Creek, and Universal has scheduled the wide theatrical release for March 12, 2027.
• The wrap signals a studio strategy to rebuild confidence in a storied but recently troubled IP and means the cast and crew now enter editing, effects and marketing phases that will shape how the franchise is relaunched.
