The Exorcist told the story of a young girl, Regan, who is possessed by a demon and the impact the events have on her family as well as two priests who are recruited to help her.

It is widely regarded by many as a masterpiece and the greatest horror film of all time.

It takes a certain amount of bravery to make a new entry in the series following some poorly received follow-ups, but Green will helm the project that stars Leslie Odom Jr. and Ellen Burstyn, who reprises her role as Regan's mother from the original.

"We start in a couple of weeks, and we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and dive into the next great franchise," Green told Variety.

“We’ve got an amazing cast coming together and scripts we’re all excited about.

 "I'm honoured to step into something that’s so valuable within cinema history.

“And knowing that there is a fanbase that is curious, aware, alert, potentially concerned to see what we’re up to.

"What I like is, people say, ‘Is it stressful?’ No, it’s exciting because I spent so much of my life making movies, and you’re just begging an audience to tune in, or see what’s going on, or buy tickets to the movie."

Green is currently promoting the final entry in his Halloween trilogy sequel saga, Halloween Ends.
