If you’re a horror film enthusiast, get ready to be spooked and thrilled because Universal Pictures is about to unleash terror with its upcoming horror flick, “The Exorcist: Believer“. The official trailer has just been released, and it’s already sending shivers down our spines!
The trailer begins with two young girls getting lost in the eerie woods, but what unfolds afterward is far more sinister and disturbing. The film boasts an impressive cast, including the legendary Ellen Burstyn, known for her unforgettable role in the 1973 classic “The Exorcist,” one of the most iconic horror movies of all time. Alongside her are talented actors Leslie Odom Jr., Ann Dowd, Jennifer Nettles, Norbert Leo Butz, Lidya Jewett, and newcomer Olivia Marcum.
“The Exorcist,” based on William Peter Blatty’s best-selling book, made history when it hit the cinemas, breaking box office records and becoming the first horror film ever to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards with ten nominations.
Ellen Burstyn and Leslie Odom Jr
Now, get ready for a chilling new chapter in “The Exorcist: Believer,” brought to you by Blumhouse and the brilliant director David Gordon Green, who previously wowed audiences with his fresh take on the Halloween franchise.
The story revolves around Victor Fielding, portrayed by Tony winner and Oscar® nominee Leslie Odom Jr., who has been raising his daughter Angela (played by Lidya Jewett) alone since his wife’s tragic death in a Haitian earthquake twelve years ago.
But everything takes a sinister turn when Angela and her friend Katherine (newcomer Olivia Marcum) mysteriously vanish in the woods, only to reappear three days later with no memory of what transpired. As their families try to make sense of the inexplicable events, a series of terrifying occurrences unfolds, pushing Victor to confront the darkest forces imaginable. Desperate for answers, he seeks help from the only person who can understand such malevolence: Chris MacNeil.
Director David Gordon Green
For the first time in nearly five decades, the iconic Oscar® winner Ellen Burstyn returns to the screen as Chris MacNeil, an actress forever scarred by the horrors she endured with her daughter Regan all those years ago.
Adding to the stellar cast is Emmy winner Ann Dowd, who plays Victor and Angela’s neighbor, and Grammy winner Jennifer Nettles and two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz, portraying Katherine’s parents.
“The Exorcist: Believer” is masterfully directed by David Gordon Green, with a screenplay co-written by Peter Sattler and David Gordon Green, based on a gripping story by Scott Teems, Danny McBride, and David Gordon Green, all staying true to the rich legacy of William Peter Blatty’s original characters.
Lidya Jewett & Olivia Marcum

Doh, who debuted as a member of the K-pop group EXO, is also known for his acting work, such as in the films My Annoying Brother and Along with the Gods, and the popular TV series 100 Days My Prince.
In The Moon, a gripping, epic action adventure and one of the most highly anticipated films in Korea this year, Doh expands his acting spectrum by playing a lone Korean astronaut stranded on the moon. His character, Sun-woo, is a former SEAL member and molecular physics major who joins the Narae-ho space program in Korea. He boards the spacecraft in pursuit of his father’s unrealized dream but unexpectedly becomes the sole survivor of the expedition due to an unforeseen accident.
The young actor shares that he joined The Moon because he found “the script to be excellent and wanted to challenge myself in expressing weightlessness with my body.” He adds that he hopes to vividly convey the various emotions that Sun-woo experiences, from the awe of setting foot on the moon for the first time to the fear of being left alone in the vastness of space and the unwavering determination to survive.
It looks like Doh has nothing to worry about, because he’s already impressed his director. Director Kim Yong Hwa, reuniting with Doh after their successful collaboration in the Along with the Gods movie series, states, “Doh Kyung-soo possesses a gentle persona while also having a very intense face. I thought that through the character of Hwang Sun-woo, we could showcase his hidden passion and determination, providing a fresh impression.”
In The Moon, Korea’s first manned mission to the moon ends in a tragic disaster when an explosion occurs on board. Seven years later, a second human spaceflight is launched successfully but a strong solar wind causes it to malfunction. One astronaut Sun-woo (Doh) is left stranded in space. Facing another fatal catastrophe, the Naro Space Center turns to its former managing director Dr. Kim (award-winning actor Sul Kyung-gu, known for Silmido, Peppermint Candy, Public Enemy and most recently, Kill Boksoon) to help bring Sun-woo back home safely. The film also stars Kim Hee-ae, most recently known for The World of the Married and Queenmaker.
