In a recent interview, William Friedkin was asked about the possibility that Warner Brothers decided to convert
The Exorcist to 3D. Friedkin said that would never happen, "providing I'm still alive." He stated that he has control "over every single frame of film" when converting it to Blu-ray. "If I want a scene bluer, I get that scene bluer," he added.
Friedkin confirmed that the Blu-ray of
The Exorcist is coming out this fall. A rerelease in IMAX theaters is also being considered, although "nothing is certain yet."
