The Exorcist took 10 Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture, and won two Oscars®, for Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as winning for Best Sound. Subsequently, the film went on to become a multi-million pound franchise. Directed by Friedkin (Oscar®-winner for The French Connection – Directing 1971) and written by William Peter Blatty, the film is based on his best-selling novel, which sold nearly 13 million copies in the US and was the #1 book on the New York Times Best Seller List for 57 weeks, 17 of them at #1.
In 1977 John Boorman (Deliverance) directed Exorcist II: The Heretic starring Linda Blair and Richard Burton; in 1990, the creator of the series, William Peter Blatty, wrote and directed Exorcist III starring George C Scott. In 2004 Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger) directed The Exorcist prequel, Exorcist: The Beginning. The anthology also includes Paul Schrader’s film Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist that the production company originally shelved in favour of Harlin’s film. Blatty himself regards Schrader’s film as ‘a handsome, classy, elegant piece of work’.
