Casting - - THE EXORCIST

****************I edited this just now, thanks to some comments and responses********
This is my first casting, so be easy on me.
                                                   
In 1973, a horror film was released named "The Exorcist" starring Ellen Brustyn, Max vonSydow, Lee J. Cobb, Jason Miller, and young Linda Blair. On its release it was the movie to go see. Making #1 on the box office charts for 1973. People Were throwing up, running out of the theatre and couldn't sleep for weeks.

I just finished reading the book and re-re casted my old version of re-casting. I changed up Lt. Kimderman and Father Karras.
Raegen MacNeil is an 14 year old girl, that has a mom actress and dad is out-of-the-picture. They seem happy. One day Raegen starts acting up at a party and one thing leads to another and Raegen has become the devil herself. The director of the film her mom is in suddenly dies misterously after seeing Raegen. Two priest come and preform an "exorcism" on them.

Here it is, A cast for the 1973 film "The Exorcist"

Hope you enjoyed my casting on this website. Tell me your thoughts and opinions.

Casting- - Pet Sematary

                    
Pet Sematary is a 1989 movie based off Stephen Kings classic novel.


A young couple and their young children move into a nice house in urban Maine. Where they befriend the old and kind neighbor. After their cat dies, he shows them a Indian burial ground where animals can come back to life, but they are different. Within a few months, their baby boy dies and the husband goes crazy and buries him on the grounds. But he comes back and wants to kill anybody in his path.

The movie was taken to mixed reviews. I liked it all. Fred Gwynne as the old man, and everyone else are still unknown. Its an intresting movie.
