Jason Miller

It won Best Sound from Robert Knudsen and Chris Newman, who together they won awards for E.T., nominated for The Sorcerer.

uh yeah exorcist of course worked on english patient amadeus french connection anyway just two icons in the industry won an oscar for this for sound deservedly and uh the other oscar win was for blatty for best adapted screenplay um but it was in addition it was nominated for uh film editing cinematography art direction, supporting actress for Linda Blair, supporting actor for Jason Miller, actress for Ellen Burstyn, director for William Friedkin.

And it was the first horror film ever nominated for Best Picture.

The first.

right?

And so the question is, would there even be, let's say the Christian hell is real, would there even be a link between the Christian hell and and pazuzu

i mean apparently there is that branch apparently there is that branch of the church that um yeah yeah the sequels will explore this more yeah uh by the way fun fact the jason miller who you were kind of iffy on this casting john i take it would you call him discount yeah He

is discount Stephen Seagal.

And so George C. Scott stepped into the role.

Also back is Jason Miller, who is officially playing Patient X.

But in the original Exorcist, he played Father Damien Karras, who, along with Max Fonsito, was one of the two exorcists who were trying to free Regan from the demon.

Ed Flanders is in this.

I will say that a little trivia here because I like my little Hollywood trivia.

I'll throw in.

So this has, again, like I said earlier, Jason Miller is back as he's back as technically patient X in this movie.

He is the father of actor Jason Patrick.

cage in the cage which is

fun because obviously like dorsey scott has some some high points where he's fully acting on ten the not the files the and then he goes from that to like crying and saying i'm sorry i'm having a tough time or whatever um and dorf is like Whenever it's Dorf and it's not, what's his name, Jason Miller? Yeah.

I was like, are we not going to recast him? And then I'm like, well, then we're recasting The Exorcist.

We don't have time

is discount Stephen Seagal.

Like I'd seen it once decades ago and I didn't even remember half of it.

yeah i knew i all the things i remembered were the beats with the like the demon shit but like it all and i remember obviously the beginning because i like it's very it's very visceral that opening sequence but outside of that there's a lot of like the drama and specifically a lot of the stuff with um father damien who's uh played by jason miller where i was like i was like fucking hell like this is just like a movie that i want to watch by itself

yeah You know what, we're talking about scary and horror movies.

You know what the most horrific parts of this movie is to me? is it's not like the demon possession it's not like any of that stuff the most terrifying thing that i found in this movie was when she was being examined by the doctors and just the mechanic the mechanics of the x-ray and just like it's almost like primitive torture devices i was like we've

Yeah, I guess

Jason Miller just didn't want to have anything to do with it.

It's ridiculous.

Yeah.
