How Did Taylor Swift Help The Exorcist Director David Gordon Green?

1 years ago By Movies Desk

Taylor Swift inadvertently came to the aid of director David Gordon Green during the release preparations for his film, “The Exorcist: Believer.” Green had meticulously planned to release the movie on October 13th, which not only fell on a Friday the 13th but also marked the 50th anniversary of the original “Exorcist” film. This timing couldn’t have been more serendipitous for a horror movie release.

However, a twist of fate occurred when Taylor Swift announced that she would be releasing her Eras Tour concert film in theaters on the very same day, October 13th. Realizing that this direct competition could potentially harm his film’s box office performance, Green decided to adjust his release strategy. In a bid to avoid clashing with Swift’s highly anticipated concert film, he moved the release date of “The Exorcist: Believer” up by a week.

This move, while necessary for the film’s success, disrupted Green’s meticulously planned release schedule. Recognizing the humor in the situation, Green jokingly suggested that Taylor Swift should make it up to him and his “Exorcist” team, perhaps by buying them dinner. It’s a light-hearted acknowledgment of the unpredictable nature of the movie business and the sometimes unexpected challenges that filmmakers face.

David Gordon Green has been a versatile filmmaker throughout his career, spanning a wide range of genres and projects. He made his debut with the Indie drama “George Washington” in 2000 and has since navigated through indie dramas, studio comedies, star-driven projects, and television series. Notably, he was responsible for reviving the “Halloween” franchise with a trilogy that concluded with “Halloween Ends.” Now, with “The Exorcist: Believer,” he’s breathing new life into another iconic horror series.

What ties all of Green’s diverse works together is his insatiable curiosity and a passion for creative collaboration. He thrives on bringing together friends and a team of talented individuals, regardless of the project’s tone – whether it’s funny, scary, or peculiar. For him, the joy lies in assembling a group of people, often with financial support, and embarking on the creative journey together, akin to a band making music. This unwavering passion and commitment to storytelling have made David Gordon Green a dynamic and adaptable force in the world of filmmaking.
