The Exorcist: Believer came and went from theaters last fall with a shoulder shrug and caused Blumhouse and Universal to panic a bit. After sinking millions into acquiring the rights to the franchise, they need it to work. They took a big step this afternoon.
The studio has handed the franchise to director Mike Flanagan , who is responsible for some of the best horror has had to offer in the last decade. Flanagan will write, produce, and direct a new take on the franchise. Yes, the David Gordon Green-directed Believer is being tossed aside, as Variety is reporting this will be a fresh start.

'Reuniting with my friends at Blumhouse, with whom I've made some of my favorite pieces of work, only makes this more exciting.' The director previously made three films with Blumhouse: Oculus, Hush, and Ouija: Origin of Evil. 'Mike's voice and vision are indispensable for horror fans, and we are excited to welcome him back to Blumhouse,' said Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum.
