You’re starting to scare me.. 😛 That sounds like something that Dave (YOU KNOW WHO!!) would write. 😀
(Assillyhated Press — sent in by “M.I.K.E.”)
LA (NOT Louisiana, the other “LA”, dummy; and show some respect! -Editor) –
Once, WPB’s film and writing days looked to be over… but, upon getting a kick out of Wes Craven’s “New Nighmare” Freddy K. sequel, things have changed.
Blatty’s making a new film, his first since 1990’s The Exorcist III — chroniciling the epic slugfest-to-the-death between Captain “Pazuzu” Howdy and Freddy Krueger — with Wes Craven. And Blatty, with Craven, will be co-directing from Blatty’s script). William Freidkin was game, but suddenly offered this statement: “Sorry, Bill, Wes… I’ve got some new DVD commentaries to record for some of my favorite films in the world which I’ve made; yeah, the studios have told me my all old ones sound the same, so I’m back at the drawing board; boy do I want to slap them across the face! But yeah, I need to take my time recording these new ones, to make sure the viewers understand what they’re seeing onscreen. Maybe we’ll do lunch, though, what do you say? How about at that cafe you like so well, Bill, the one in Georgetown? The Tombs, right? Cool. See you there in five minutes, buddy! Chow! -Billy F.”
Blatty is approximately 80-years-young, and figured such a revolutionary film could take the Exorcist series someplace it’s never been (and no, not in Space, Blatty insists — nor will it be anything like the now-on-hold film adaptation of the soon-to-be-released MORTAL KOMBLATTY video game.), Friedkin or no.
Stars include Billy Crawford, forgotten star of forgotten (except for a few fans at Exorcist fansites across the net) Paul Schrader Exorcist prequel DOMINION: PREQUEL TO THE EXORCIST. Of Crawford, Billy P.B. says, “Dominion was the best sequel/prequel/shmequel so far, even better than The Heretic, and I have Billy Crawford very much to thank for this. He OWNED that role, baby. Yow. Wish he could have done Dietz’s scenes in the original; the kid is scary, in the scariest sense! Sigh. Yeah, so, we got him fighting Wes’s Freddy Krueger in this one. And I play myself, but a different character than that “Crash Course” bozo in Billy Friedkin’s Exorcist film (the original one). Wes Craven’s in there, too, reprising his role from Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, where he was called… blast it, the name escapes me. Anyway, I’m convinced this is the direction the prequels should have gone, even Paul Schrader’s. Like with Exorcist III, though, we’ll be rewriting a lot of the good stuff from the originals. Oh, and we might even get the Sychrnonizers to appear; the fans can’t seem to get enough of that — do you know that I still get letters asking why it wasn’t in the original Friedkin film? It’s nuts. But, yeah, it’s time to dust that bad boy off and let ‘er rip anew… This is all really sudden, crazy and wild, this new film’s development; we’re now in post-production, afer only, like, one month! But I have Morgan Creek to thank. They sold the rights back to me for $5, and for me promising them to never talk to them again; they seem to be thoroughly embarassed by how they treated me through these last few sequels; I guess it meant, ultimately, they lost lots of money, the buttheads. Meh. Who needs ’em? Anyway, watch for this Craven/Blatty vehicle to get Oscar notice. Wes, thanks for everything — God bless you… Now back to that scene we were shooting before… you try to convince me that Freddy Krueger is out to get Captain Howdy, and I, as William Peter Blatty, tell you you’re crazy, that Freddy’s just faker-than-beans and beat you over the head with a carp. C’mon, one more take. Hey, look, if you don’t budge, I’m firing you. If not for me, do it for the art, Wes. THE ART!”
William Peter Blatty’s New Exorcism [never] opens in theatres [nowhere else but in your head] a number of days past 6 + 6 + 06. Beware. Rated R for intense scenes of Satanic intensity, gore, blood and intensity. No children administered.
Hmmm, I’m still clueless here, Justy. Throw me another bone. Please. This is quite a riddle, and my brain hurts. 😐
Yanks rule! OW!
M.I.K.E.
