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.

[BadLocust77]

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

[Jason Stringer]

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

[Justin]

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

[cappy]

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

[Justin]

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

[cappy]

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

[Justin]

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

[GhettoExorcist]

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

[cappy]

Hmmm…
Although, she would be recognized immediately.

[Greg]

I don’t see how you can make a TV series out of The Exorcist either. Every episode would be about either an exorcism or some spiritual/metaphysical thing, which would be excrutingly predictable. Since exorcisms are supposed to be very rare, the show’s credibility would also go out the window. The closest show that came to that (not the X-Files) was Kolchak: The Night Stalker from the 70’s, which wasn’t that great anyway.

[Justin]

Errr… a mini-series. 2 parts or something..

[Jason Stringer]

Yeah it would just be two movie-length episodes like a normal mini series – NOT a 22 episode 30 minute series like you might be thinking.

For reference: The Shining mini series remake.

I keep hearing whispers about this actually being green lit.
