ParticipantShe did call him in the novel but he didn’t make any effort to go. They were divorced but in the movie it seems they’re just separated.
Sofia
ParticipantI always thought it was. Here’s a picture of the “real” Chris, Regan and Howard. 🙂

ParticipantThe 25th anniversary DVD includes it, on Blatty’s audio commentary.

ParticipantWell, my favorite movie is The Exorcist, but I love the novel more. You’re missing a huge part of the story if you just go by the movie. So I really don’t think it’s fair to say that the movie surpasses it’s amazing literary source.

Participant“This is one of those rare instances where the film manages to surpass the source novel.”
What?? You’re obviously in the minority. Most people say the novel is superior. I don’t understand how can some on this forum prefer the movie over the novel. Well, of course you’re entitled to your opinion..

ParticipantSome of it was shown on Movie Magic.

ParticipantEllen also calls her Rags in the “tuck into bed” scene, when she says she loves her. But in the novel, Chris calls her Rags all the time.
Sofia
ParticipantThey should cast relative unknowns in order to add to the film’s realism.
Sofia
ParticipantWell is it something about them being relatives in a previous life? I hope you post Chapter 6 soon. 🙂
Sofia
ParticipantLast part of Chapter 5 was already scary. 🙂 I really want to know why she’s in terrible danger!
Sofia
ParticipantDo you mean Dalai Lama? Chris saw a buddhist monk levitate. I loved the conversation about Mormons but it’s not Shirley’s belief according to her books.
Well, I can’t wait to read Chapter 6. 🙂Sofia
ParticipantOh God, I love it! You know that I am a huge fan of Shirley MacLaine and Sachi. I made that wallpaper of them. Please keep going!

Participant;D

ParticipantYes cobra022, Blatty based Chris on Shirley and Regan on Sachi. I wrote about it here: http://captainhowdy.com/?page_id=38&xdforum_action=viewthread&xf_id=7&xt_id=313&pstart=0
