Exorcist Beginnings Overview by Goon
Since Exorcist was made it has spawned millions of nightmares.. Now its time to get to the root of those fears with the prequel to the movie. Renny Harlin is heading up the project.. Word is before shooting this film he was hit by a car.. He stated that several people told him the movie was cursed but he wasn't gonna let this opportunity pass him up.. The synopsis for the film is below...
In the aftermath of World War II, Lancaster Marin finds himself in the remote Turkana region of Kenya. Haunted by memories of the war, he has taken sabbatical from the priesthood and journeyed far from his native Holland. He has come to lead the archeological excavation of a mysterious, Byzantine church, buried in pristine condition as if on the day it was completed. Directly underneath the church, Merrin discovers a much more ancient crypt- and finds himself face-to-face with unspeakable Evil.
Madness descends on the local villagers and the contingent of British soldiers sent to guard the excavation. Merrin watches helplessly as the atrocities of war are repeated against another innocent village-atrocities he’d hoped to never see again. The blood of innocents flows freely on the East African plain, but the horror has only just begun…
Right now the movie is projected to be released on August 20.. The trailer in itself is a little bit discouraging to me.. Most of the clips are from the first film. Which gets you wondering.. Did they have any good stuff for the trailer? Or are they just trying to hide what they have of the film? Well you can decide for yourself...
