It was reported earlier this week that ดาวน์โหลดslotxo we’ll be getting not one, but three new films in the Exorcist universe – and that Ellen Burstyn, who was in the original 1973 film, will be reprising her role in the reboot.
Burstyn starred as Chris MacNeil, the mother of Regan, the little girl who was possessed in the original film.
Unfortunately, though, it doesn’t seem like we’ll be seeing Burstyn’s screen daughter reprising her role in the new films.
On Tuesday (Jul 27), actress Linda Blair – yes, she was the possessed child in the original film – confirmed via Twitter that she has not been involved in any discussions with regards to the upcoming reboot.
"To all my fans asking about my involvement in the new Exorcist reboot, as of now there has not been any discussion about me participating or reprising my role," she wrote, with the text overlaid on a photo of her as Regan.
“I wish all those involved the best and I appreciate the loyalty and passion the fans have for The Exorcist and my character,” she added.
In an interview with The New York Post that also ran on Tuesday, Blair said that representatives for screenwriter and director David Gordon Green, production company Blumhouse and Morgan Creek Productions had contacted her to discuss their plans for the series. However, they did not mention a possible comeback for Blair on the show.
