The Exorcist

When it was screened in 1973, the film made many audiences scream, dizzy, and even hysterical, so that nursing staff were called on by the theater to be on standby at any time, becoming one of the most controversial films in film history at that time.
At the beginning of the film’s release, many local governments in the UK banned the film from being shown. This made some strange "exorcist bus trips" appear at that time. The travel agency organized a convoy to send tourists to nearby cities where the movie can be shown.
Alan Bao Siting agreed to star in her film roles, not to mention the only requirement is that "the I Believe in at The Devil!"I believe in the devil this line. The producer agreed to delete this statement.
John Berman rejected the opportunity to direct "The Exorcist" because he felt that the plot was "too cruel for children". However, he accepted the invitation of the director of the sequel "The Exorcist 2".
Jane Fonda and Shirley McLean have both considered playing the role of Chris. Audrey Hepburn also had the opportunity to star in the film, but she hopes to shoot in Rome. Anne Bancroft was another candidate, but she had been pregnant for a month and had to give up.
Director William Friedkin often did some very cruel things to the actors during filming. In order to obtain the effect of horror, he shot behind the actors.
Around the filming that lasted for more than a year, it was rumored that many ominous things happened during the period, including the death of nine people involved in the production of the film, and the mysterious fire mentioned in the story that destroyed the scene for a week.
William Friedkin took the all-British staff to Iraq to shoot the film. At that time, the United States and Iraq severed diplomatic relations. They are permitted to make films, and conditions include that they must be taught advanced film techniques to Iraqi film workers, such as how to make fake blood.
Because Linda Blair has always received death threats, in the six months after the release of the film, Warner Bros. has also hired personal bodyguards for her.
Linda Blair won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Before that, not many people knew it was the voice of the devil that actress Mercedes McCambrech played for her in the movie. The widespread controversy triggered afterwards eventually led to her losing the chance to win the Oscar.
The film company wanted Marlon Brando to play the priest. Friedkin immediately objected. He said that if Brando were to play it, it would become a Brando movie, not what he wanted to make the movie into.
