    If there ever was a remake, I think I would go and personally kill all the studio heads that went along with the idea. 🙁 🙁 🙁 :mad

    It’s strange that you’re picking people who already sound or look dead for the part. Maybe the remake will be made in the Netherworld.

    The peeps I threw out as possibilities to me seemed the most worthy of portraying the Karras character.

    Karras, the actor portraying him, must have taken a beating in life, but withstood it to press on. Karras might be a kindly priest, but he’s been to Hell and back (not literally, but you get the idea, right?). His worldly and spiritual problems, must’ve taken years off his life, and then he’s asked to intervene in a case of possession, and does so, because he genuinely wants to help, despite his weariness. That, to me, is what Karras is all about.

    Anyway, an actor ought to be somebody with a beaten-looking face and demeanor, but have a real heart. A tough guy with a heart that’s tougher.

    M.I.K.E.

    I always thought the perfect actor to play Karris for a remake would be Edward Norton. I really couldn’t see any other actors that are of the appropriate age group to be playing that part.

    I say Adrien Brody for Karras. However, I do not EVER EVER support a remake of The Exorcist.

    No ideas for the character, but -as BadLocust77 said- I DON’T EVER SUPPORT A REMAKE of The Exorcist! It would be the worst!

    The only thing I’d support is a TV series “remake” like what was supposed to happen ages ago.

    Really? hmm…I wonder what they would put on that kind of series.

    And I should add, only if it was done by Blatty or Friedkin. I see the series as a direct version of the novel.

    That’s sounds quite nice(: And with the same actors?

    Don’t know about the cast, but it would be cool to have some cameos by some of the original cast (or just Linda).

    How about Linda does the new Captain Howdy/Pazuzu/Mask of Death. Could be interesting.

    Constantine? God, I hated this movie..
    And when he showed up with that tomi-gun in the shape of a cross, that’s really where this thing lost any shred of intelligence.

    Movies about exorcisms are rubbish (lately). Case in point: Constantine.

    Hmmm… that’s something to think about. I would actually rather see a hardcore, no pulling punches, cinematic expose on the Annalise Michel exorcism (and not obviously the Emily Rose film) if that were possible. Perhaps in several more years when the personal sensitivity of the material was not as much of a problem for the families.
