Yeah, I was reading about this in a magazine... talks about
how the priest in the exorcist decided to get involved with
exorcisms and all that... sounded pretty good... not out yet
I guess, not sure when it will be either...

Our current, basic understanding of the plot for Exorcist:
The Beginning is:
It is a prequel to The Exorcist, set just after World War
II, during Father Merrin's missionary work in Africa, when
he meets the demon Pazuzu for the first time (as mentioned
in the first film and it's poor sequels). Without giving too
much away - is this basic plot outline correct?
Yes - this is the basic plotline, however he has lost the
name 'Pazuzu' in our script. Just the Devil Himself.

Approximately what year does Exorcist: The Beginning take
place in, and how old is Father Merrin?
Most of the action is set in 1947 in the Turkana region of
Kenya. There's also a significant flashback to an even
earlier period: 1944 in Holland

This project has already had numerous names... Exorcist:
Dominion, Exorcist 4:1, etc. Is Exorcist: The Beginning the
definite final name for the film?
EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING is the definite final name for the
film.

Aside from Pazuzu and Father Merrin, are there any other
characters from the other three Exorcist films making an
appearance?
Since this is a prequel that takes place in 1947, the
characters that appeared in the other Exorcist films would
not have been alive. Also, don't expect any cameo
appearances from Linda Blair or Ellen Burstyn, Lee J Cobb,
Jason Miller or any other actors who appeared in any of the
previous Exorcist movies.

Stellan Skarsgård is playing a young Father Merrin.
