The Exorcist: Believer Turned To Taylor Swift To Help Child Actors Recover From Intense Scenes

The Exorcist: Believer director David Gordon Greene reveals that the film’s young stars, Lidya Jewett and Olivia O’Neill, would listen to Taylor Swift to recover from tense scenes. Jewett and O’Neill portray Angela and Katherine, respectively, two girls who are suffering from demonic possession. In the film, their parents seek the help of Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn), who has experience with possessed children, considering her daughter Regan’s (Linda Blair) possession was the subject of the original The Exorcist film in 1973. Fortunately, The Exorcist: Believer ensured Jewett’s and O’Neill’s comfort while filming.
