Exorcist 4: will we see Schrader's version?
I heard, I think, that both Harlin's and Schrader's versions will be released-
Can anyone confirm this? Was I dreaming or...
Also, would they BOTH be released theatrically (unlikely) or will only harlin's version run in the cinema and Schrader's out on dvd?

I remember this old article where one of the writers for this movie, Caleb Carr, commented on Schrader's cut...
"Exorcist: The Beginning" writer Caleb Carr:
source: Creature Corner
If Shrader's cut does get released, it will be interesting comparing both versions.
"Exorcist: The Beginning" writer Caleb Carr:
"...Vittorio Storraro, who had spent months planning an elaborate and creative lighting scheme, was treated with such respect by Maestro Schrader that he ended up throwing his hands in the air, and thus the whole movie, which Schrader wanted lit "hot" to suggest the desert sun and the Devil (one supposes) ends up having the depth and creativity of a slightly upscale porn flick; but that's nothing compared to the cast of fine (if lesser-known) actors who stand around the screen with that unmistakable "Somebody, please, in God's name, direct me!" look on their faces; all have their moments, but they are accidental and far between, and generally come at the wrong times. As for the "psychological horror" of the piece that Schrader says the "studio suits" are trying to rip out of his precious cut: the ****ing psychological horror is sitting THROUGH his miserable cut, and his LIES in this article can't change that. I worked for the best part of four months AT MORGAN CREEK writing this movie, EVERY EXEC THERE read it repeatedly..."

So showing nothing is as bad as showing someone being stabbed?
Sure MPAA....you guys are just begging for a choclate covered pretzel.

Still makes no sense, it's just more B.S. from yours truly (MPAA)
Why? Why? Why?!!!?

What makes no sense is why people are lambasting the MPAA for not letting a supposedly violent trailer be "for general audiences," especially when none of us have seen the damn thing! It's a stupid trailer...they have somewhat restrictive rules for the general audience trailers. What exactly is so evil about this? And exactly what standards do you want for trailers that anybody can watch? Blood? Gore? Boobies? I'm all for free expression, but this ain't the place for it.

So it is bullshit to say the least - there is NO reason why the trailer should be banned and that's what people are pissed about.

Listen, I just don't see the argument here. This isn't censorship, nothing got banned, and the MPAA did exactly what it should. Now have YOU seen this trailer so that you can actually say that the MPAA made a wrong decision? And for that matter...why does this matter? Trailers are always fairly benign...there are many other outlets to show more violent or graphic trailers than green band trailers in movie theaters.

I'm complaining about this mainly because of the info being made public and because IMO it usually turns out that the trailers are never as bad as they are made out to be......now you DON'T have to agree with that, just keep in mind the many views that other people have.
Your reply does have a point as well.

Brand new Exorcist: The Beginning Trailer
Here you go kiddos:
http://www.latinoreview.com/ExorcistTrailer/
I'm still not sure about this. Could be good, could be crappy. I'll be seeing it in theaters though.
Also you might want to stay away from the latest issue of Fangora if you don't want any spoilers.
