At 93 years old, Ellen Burstyn may be on the verge of making history, but the legendary actress also seems to have had just about enough of The Exorcist. In a new interview with Variety, Burstyn revealed that she’s hoping to earn a Grammy for her poetry audiobook, Poetry Says It Better, which would complete the coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony) and make her the oldest person ever to achieve the honor. But when the conversation turned to yet another upcoming Exorcist movie, Burstyn wasn’t exactly enthusiastic.
"It’s enough already," she said, questioning whether the franchise has gone on long enough. More than 50 years after playing Chris MacNeil in the original 1973 horror classic.. she’s had it .
But we have not. In Michael Flanagan we trust …
Speaking in an exclusive interview with ScreenRant while promoting ‘Wildwood’, he said, “In the end, these sorts of decisions are out of our control, you always imagine where these people’s lives go after the end of the movie, and if the universe, in its wisdom, asks us to make more of these things, we would be delighted to give them more.”
But the question remains… Big screen or streaming … And will Jared Leto rise again?

Pepper spray at the movies..
