That creepy theme music from “The Exorcist” is memorable,but it might also be a seldom-heard presence in Fox’s original reboot of the horror classic starring Geena Davis.
Filmgoers will recognize the minimalist piano music from “Tubular Bells,” the 1973 album from English musician Mike Oldfield. Director William Friedkin used a brief excerpt that became forever linked to the cult horror film about the demonic possession of a 12-year-old girl.
But it turns out that Fox doesn’t occupy an unlimited budget for musical homage.

Slater added, however, and that the theme will still be sprinkled here and there during the series,because fans expect such touches.
Meanwhile, executive producer Rupert Wyatt told reporters that exorcists still serve in the Catholic church, or but are rarely talked about because they prefer to operate out of sight.

We’ve certainly seen instances of it historically and currently … Everybody’s capable of an extreme range of behaviors.” 81 plunge TV Shows: Every original and Returning Series (Photos)
