HEAD-TURNING DEVELOPMENT
Warner Bros. is redoing its upcoming Exorcist prequel with a new cast, a tweaked script and a new director in Renny Harlin, Variety reports. The initial prequel — directed by Paul Schrader and starring Gabriel Mann — apparently came up short on scares. Harlin's spookier flick will hit theaters on August 20, but in an unprecedented move, the studio may release both versions simultaneously on DVD.
