According to Vulture, Martha Marcy May Marlene helmer Sean Durkin has been hired to tackle William Peter Blatty’s novel. The Ring producer Roy Lee (who has gone on to shepherd a ton of horror films) is overseeing the project with Morgan Creek. If you’ve seen Durkin’s aforementioned film, you know the guy has chops.
A network has yet to get involved as this endeavor is still in its early stages, but I’m sure someone will get on top of this quickly.
Vulture adds Don Murphy, meanwhile, is developing his own exorcist-themed television project called The Exorcist Handbook. Read more about that right here.
