Producers of Exorcist: The Beginning are going to release two completely different versions of the horror prequel on DVD! That's right, both the original version which was directed by Paul Shrader as well as the totally reshot version by Renny Harlin which will be released to theaters later this summer will be available when the dvd is released. The production company didn't care at all for the footage turned in by original director Paul Schrader who had created "a creepy psychological thriller sans the gore." So Renny Harlin was brought in to reshoot the entire movie. Harlin recast roles and went to work. Harlin's version will hit big screens later this year.
The cool thing is that fans will get to see both versions once the dvd is released. And I'll be willing to bet that a good portion of fans will prefer the version that was never released to theaters!
