The Exorcist III: Legion
William Peter Blatty's director's cut of "The Exorcist III" which was thought to be lost. Recovered and released in 2016 under its original title, this is the definitive cut of the film based on his novel "Legion". Almost three decades after the theatrical release of The Exorcist III (1990), William Peter Blatty--the writer, director, and author of the 1971 novel, The Exorcist, and its 1983 sequel, Legion--announced that he was working on a Director's Cut version. With most of the deleted original footage presumed lost, Blatty's Legion was released in October 2016. Aside from adding new scenes and inserts from recovered VHS tapes, the theatrical cut has an alternative opening scene and a different exorcism ending. Blatty's vision is better reflected in the result, which is closer to the original screenplay. —Nick Riganas
