Once he’s through with Halloween, David Gordon Green will go on to The Exorcist. At Universal, he is now working on a whole trilogy of sequels to that original masterpiece.
“The first one of our trilogy is written and the second two are being outlined. So we’ve got a ways to go on that, but we know where we’re going. It’s a new journey [with] some familiar characters and some new ones as well.”
