Introduction to the film:

Prequel to the Exorcist is the prequel to the famous horror movie Exorcist.

Interestingly, the exorcist prequel was shot in two completely different versions. The first edition was directed by paul schrader, the ace screenwriter of Taxi Driver and Angry Bull (director of psychological thriller Auto Focus), but his final effect was too artistic and lacked bloody stimulation, so the film was constructed as a framework of suspense reasoning. His bold attempt finally made the management unbearable. After repeated weighing, Morgan Crick announced that the film, which has invested 50 million dollars, will be completely remake, and the investment in remake is still 50 million dollars. At this point, the exorcist prequel, with a total cost of 1 billion dollars, has also become the most expensive horror film in film history. The remake was taken over by action film director renny harlin, who directed Die Hard Rowen Rowen 2, Cutthroat Island and Hot Water. He made the second version, which is full of violence and blood, and even more "horrible". It is the version that American audiences will see in cinemas. As for the "art version" of the exorcist prequel, it will be included in DVD. Paul schrader compared this unprecedented shooting experience to "the ultimate practice of the Film Academy". "It's like giving two students the same premise. Everyone gives 1000 feet of film and says, let's make a movie!" Then Schrade said, "I seized the opportunity to make a horror film that was not used, but the buyer later regretted it." Renny harlin, the director of the second edition, said: "Because 1973 is the most famous horror film in the world, they (the production company Morgan Creek) think that the key to the prequel is to be absolutely faithful to the original work of 1973. They want this film to be an absolute success and contain all the elements of the original. I think this is why they are not satisfied with the previous script and the film (shot by paul schrader). "

As for the remake of The Exorcist Prequel, its director renny harlin said: "In the prequel, we continued the theme and style of the original, and because it was a prequel, we had the opportunity to explain some questions and mysterious events in the film 1973, but they were not explained. At the same time, the most important thing for the audience is that they can feel extremely exciting and horrible like watching the original. " He also said: "In the prequel, we used the characteristics of 1973 to describe the battle between characters and good and evil, and did not use any special tricks that would make people feel unreal." "In a sense, this film is better than that of 1973. What I want to explain is that obviously, this is not a movie full of blood, let alone a movie full of flying monsters and movie stunts. "
