UK PREMIERE - After the success of Point Blank and Deliverance, Warner Bros. offered John Boorman the chance to direct a sequel to their 1973 blockbuster hit, The Exorcist. The result was one of the biggest disasters in movie history, a critical and financial failure that changed how Hollywood did business and nearly ended Boorman’s career. But to be an artist is to be a risk-taker. In super-fan David Kittredge’s eye-opening documentary, Boorman, stars Linda Blair and Louise Fletcher and many more reflect on the ambition of Exorcist II: The Heretic, the artistry and craft, and the value of big creative swings.
