So I spell either bogus news story or if greenlighted, likely to be rubbish and another reason to ignore sequels & prequels.

The two most overrated things – "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and 'The Exorcist' – have combined for this project. The only thing this project needs is to cast John Hawkes and John Cusack and get Joss Whedon on as producer, and the circle will truly be complete.

Which here means that choices are : Exorcist before or after Friedkin's massive edit (this comment makes sense, just give it a chance)?! A down to earth (pun intended) drama-oriented Exorcist show could be nice … could be.
That said : I'm a HUGE fan of the third exorcist ! it has some genuine mind blowing horror !
