More proof that nothing is sacred. You'd think after the unmitigated disaster that was Exorcist: The Beginning, Warner Brothers would let the franchise lie. But no. Not content with licking their wounds from their two version farce, they are plodding ahead with another Exorcist project - This time, a remake of the original.

A remake of one of the most seminal horror movies of all time? A remake of The freaking Exorcist? Are you kidding me?

It seems Warner is obviously not content with modern day kids possibly finding the visual effects hokey and the slow-burning pace boring in such an important movie, so will no doubt want to employ hokey CGI effects and an all-action take on the script to reel in a new breed of horror fan. Hey why not make it PG-13 while you're at it.

Their casting plans, however, seem dead on the mark. Dakota "Definition of creepy" Fanning is apparently in talks to take on the role of young Regan, while Gary Oldman has been approached for a role, possibly Father Karras or Lt Kinderman.

A little part of me died.
