Liam Neeson to play Father Merrin in EXORCIST Prequel!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... Good news on the EXORCIST Prequel project. It seems that the folks producing this baby are actually caring about the decisions they are making. First they got Bill Wisher to write the script, then they hired John Frankenheimer to direct, now they've gone and hired Liam Neeson to play the part that Max Von Sydow made famous with the original film. Father Merrin the younger will be brought to life with Liam Neeson shouting out that the "Power of Christ Compels You!!!" This could actually not suck! Hollywood Reporter and the wondrous Zorianna Kit broke the story... But damn if that ain't cool!!!

Liam Neeson is set to star in Morgan Creek Prods.' next installment of the "Exorcist" franchise, a prequel that has yet to be titled. John Frankenheimer is directing the project, which begins production in the spring in the United States, United Kingdom and Africa.
