The Exorcist is reportedly being rebooted, with a plan to release the next chapter of the horror franchise in 2021. The original movie, which came out in 1973, became one of the most iconic horror films of all time. It was nominated for 10 Academy Awards (including Best Picture), winning two of them. Since then, there have been multiple installments of the franchise, although it's lost some steam over the years and some will question whether or not a remake of the horroer movie is necessary.

There hasn't been a film in the series since 2005, but the franchise hasn't been completely quiet over the past 15 years. Fox chose to reboot The Exorcist
The biggest question is what a new version of the film will be about and how it will respond to the current trends in the horror genre. Filmmaking conventions have changed a lot over the past decade and a half, meaning the franchise can be taken in a modern direction. It can also choose to follow in the path the television show would've taken if it made it to a third season. Regardless, The Exorcist will be one of the most hyped horror films of 2021.
