Exorcist Sequel in Development With Blumhouse, Halloween Director

Blumhouse Productions and Morgan Creek Entertainment are said to be developing a sequel to the 1973 horror classic The Exorcist. As reported by Observer, David Gordon Green is in talks to direct the sequel. Green directed 2018's Halloween and will be helming 2021's Halloween Kills and 2022's Halloween Ends. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/28/the-10-best-horror-movies"] In August 2020, it was reported that The Exorcist would be getting a reboot in 2021 by Morgan Creek Entertainment, yet it is unclear if this is the same project and it shifted focus, or if that was something different altogether. The Exorcist was directed by William Friedkin and was based on the novel by William Peter Blatty. It starred Linda Blair as Regan MacNeil, a young girl who was possessed by the demon Pazuzu. We recently ranked The Exorcist as #2 in our Top 25 Horror Movies of All Time list, saying "bottom line: It is the best horror movie about the consequences of belief ever made." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-most-controversial-horror-movies&captions=true"] In 2016, The Exorcist was made into a television show for Fox, but it was cancelled after just two seasons. It's average of 1.32 million viewers made it Fox's lowest-rated show of the year. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us? Want to discuss a possible story?

Justice League: Gal Gadot Didn’t Participate in Snyder Cut Reshoots

Despite earlier reports, Gal Gadot has said that she did not return as Wonder Woman to participate in reshoots for Zack Snyder's Justice League. As reported by Comicbook.com, Gadot spoke with MTV News about her involvement in the much-anticipated Snyder Cut of Justice League, saying "I didn't shoot anything, I didn't see anything. And I'm very much looking forward to watch Zack's cut." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/26/justice-league-snyder-cut-all-the-known-differences-from-the-theatrical-version"] She was then asked if she was surprised to see that this version of Justice League is actually going to happen. "In this world, now, I am not surprised by anything," Gadot said. "If someone would have told me a year ago there would have be an epidemic... Now, I'm not surprised by anything. But I'm very happy for him that he got to do his own version of the movie." Zack Snyder's Justice League is set to arrive on HBO Max in 2021 and will be released in four, hour-long parts. This Snyder Cut is expected to feature over 150 minutes of unseen footage, and Snyder has previously stated that he will not be using a "single frame of Joss Whedon's Justice League from 2017. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/15/wonder-woman-1984-review"] Even though Gadot did not return for reshoots, she will be on the big screen and HBO Max in just a few days when Wonder Woman 1984 is released on December 25, 2020. In our Wonder Woman 1984 review, we said it "is a film with a heart full of hope and love; a nostalgic look back to a beloved time that provides escapism from an exceptionally difficult year."

McDonald’s in China Is Releasing a Limited-Edition Spam and Oreos Burger

McDonald's China is getting ready to serve a brand new, limited-edition burger that is comprised of... Spam and Oreos. As reported by Kotaku, Senior Analyst at Niko Partners Daniel Ahmad has noted that this burger is set to go on sale in China on December 21 and McDonald's is only planning on making 400,000 of these. [caption id="attachment_245532" align="aligncenter" width="640"]202012161547059057_640_0 Image via McDonald's China[/caption] The fine print on McDonald's China site features the Spam trademark, but Oreo does not appear as a trademark or in an official mention. Ahmad does note that the wording says Oreo, but it could also be another brand that makes its way into the sandwich. McDonald's is no stranger to offering new menu items, and it also isn't above pretending to launch a new Chinese smartphone to announce a new chicken product. McDonald's Japan has also gotten in on the fun, and has previously offered such creations as the McChoco Potato - chocolate-covered dessert fries. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/01/19/mcdonalds-putting-chocolate-on-fries-in-japan-ign-news"] While the Spam and Oreo burger may be a bit off-putting to some, it would be a curious experiment to see how it stacks up against Burger King Japan's Black Burgers that were made with bamboo charcoal and squid ink.
