Scream Factory has confirmed that it is preparing a Collector's Edition of John Boorman's film Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977), starring Linda Blair, Louise Fletcher, Richard Burton, Max von Sydow, and James Earl Jones. The two-disc set will be available for purchase on September 25.

Supplemental features to be included on this upcoming release have not yet been finalized, and will be revealed as the street date approaches. However, the label has already announced that it will produce new high-definition transfers of two cuts of the film! (The 117 min version that has been on Blu-ray and DVD before and a shorter, alternate version that was created after the film's initial release in 1977). A brand new interview with actress Linda Blair will also appear on the upcoming set.

Bizarre nightmares plague Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair) four years after her possession and exorcism. Has the demon returned? And if so, can the combined faith and knowledge of a Vatican investigator (Richard Burton) and a research specialist (Louise Fletcher) free her from its grasp?

Employing production design and special effects that are dizzily exhilarating and a supporting cast (Max von Sydow, Paul Henreid, James Earl Jones) of compelling distinction, director John Boorman draws us into the tangible experience of evil. We fly with the demon, feel the African landscape vibrate and get engulfed in the terror of swarming locusts as Exorcist II: The Heretic weaves its fascinating, frightful spell.
