  "account": "Mike Flanagan, the acclaimed filmmaker behind the TV series remake of Stephen King's Carrie, is teasing his upcoming horror movie, The Exorcist: Martyrs, at the NYCC 2026 panel. Already known for his thrilling genre work, Flanagan's latest project aims to offer a fresh perspective on the Exorcist franchise, which has been a staple since 1973. Scarlett Johansson leads the cast as an NYPD detective, tracking Father Sunday, a serial killer who incorporates Catholic iconography into his gruesome murders. The film also features Chiwetel Ejiofor, Laurence Fishburne, Sasha Calle, and Jacobi Jupe in key roles. With its procedural-style narrative and a serial killer twist, The Exorcist: Martyrs appears to be a return to Flanagan's signature terrifying style, much like his previous works Oculus and The Haunting of Hill House. The film is set to hit theaters on March 12, 2027.",
