Boorman and the Devil - Official Trailer (2026) Documentary

Check out the Boorman and the Devil trailer for this upcoming documentary on the infamous Exorcist sequel from John Boorman, Exorcist 2: The Heretic. After the success of Point Blank and Deliverance, Warner Brothers offered John Boorman the opportunity of a lifetime: the chance to direct a sequel to their smash hit, The Exorcist. The result was one of the biggest disasters in movie history. A critical and financial failure that not only changed how Hollywood did business, but nearly ended Boorman’s filmmaking career… but to be an artist is to be a risk-taker. Now, John Boorman, Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, Karyn Kusama, Joe Dante, Mike Flanagan, and more reflect back on the ambition of the film, the artistry and craft, and the value of big creative swings. Boorman and the Devil is produced by Travis Stevens, Jim Fall & David Kittredge. Boorman and the Devil, directed by David Kittredge, opens in theaters starting August 28 at the Quad in NYC. It opens wider in various cities on September 4, 2026, including Los Angeles, Columbus, Houston, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Seattle, and more.
