Awesome!
I asked Bill about the status of this yesterday, here is a small update on his part:
“The mini script is written, is light years better than my original film script, and Billy is still willing, but at the moment, with the economy and Hollywood in shambles, no big buyers have appeared. But as Regan/Demon says, “In time!””

This is simply a follow-up post to the November 28 update. Further details have been posted about this upcoming volume on the Cemetery Dance website, including a quote by Bill:
About this Special Edition:
Featuring two classic William Peter Blatty novels in one beautiful volume for the first-time ever, this oversized deluxe special edition will be a must-have for any collector of horror! This incredible collector’s edition also includes original B&W artwork by acclaimed artist Keith Minnion and a career spanning interview conducted by Cemetery Dance Managing Editor Brian Freeman, covering Blatty’s life and career from the 1950s to the present. Both the Limited Edition and the Lettered Edition are signed by William Peter Blatty and there are no plans at this time to publish a trade edition of this special volume.A Note From the Author:
“I have for many years envisioned The Exorcist and Legion to be one continuous read, even though the former is a fact-based, clearly ‘religious thriller,’ while the story of Legion delivers more excitingly on the level of a pure ‘entertain-ment.’ Never-the-less, it is Legion and not The Exorcist that is by far the more ambitious work in that the demonic homicides that police Lt. Kinderman is investigating are of much lesser concern to him than solving that case of cosmic homicide that for eons, and for so many and for so long, has been the foremost stumbling block to belief in a benevolent Creator, namely the so-called ‘Problem of Evil,’ to which Legion brazenly offers a solution.”Even newer update — it arrived today!
Plot:
New York, 1941: Joey El Bueno is just a smart-aleck kid confounding the nuns at St. Stephen’s school on East Twenty-eighth Street when he first meets Jane Bent, a freckle-faced girl who seems to know him better than he knows himself. A magical afternoon at the movies, watching Cary Grant in Gunga Din, is the beginning of a puzzling friendship that soon leaves Joey baffled and bewildered.
Jane is like nobody Joey has ever met. She comes and goes at will, nobody else seems to have heard of her, and is it true that she once levitated six feet off the ground at the old Superior movie house on Third Avenue? Joey, an avid reader of pulp magazines and comic books, is no stranger to amazing stories, but Jane is a bewitching enigma that keeps him guessing for the rest of his life – until, finally, it all makes sense.
Rich with the warmth of a bygone era, Crazy captures both the giddy craziness of youth – and the sublime possibilities of existence.
I went through the guy’s other work and bought this mask (foam-filled) for a friend for his birthday, so it acts as a display piece:

Cheers for that, I just downloaded it. Will be splitting up the Blatty parts and putting them up on TNC.com tomorrow.
