Geena Davis Cast in FOX’s The Exorcist

LOS ANGELES: Academy Award winner Geena Davis has been cast as a series regular in the FOX drama pilot The Exorcist.

The Exorcist series is from 20th Century Fox Television, in association with Morgan Creek Productions. It is a modern reinvention inspired by William Blatty’s original 1971 book. The pilot is written by Jeremy Slater and will be directed by Rupert Wyatt. Slater, Wyatt, Rolin Jones, James Robinson, David Robinson and Barbara Wall are executive producers.

Davis will star as Angela Rance, who is naturally beautiful, regal and proud but weighed down by stress. The character does everything she can to stay positive and keep her faith even though her family is currently struggling. She can’t help but think, however, if perhaps her nightmares about a demon are a sign of what’s wrong.
