| Exorcist
Resurrected |
AP reports: When your movie is shelved and
you're fired, even the people closest to you assume your film was wretched.
So Paul Schrader just wanted it seen.
Now his "Dominion Prequel to the Exorcist"
is finally coming out — the same weekend as the hotly anticipated "Star
Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith."
It was deemed too cerebral and scare-free
by the production company, Morgan Creek, which brought in Renny Harlin
to do some reshoots. By the time Harlin was done, he had remade the movie,
and Schrader's finished product was put in the can — to stay. [see full

| Fox
Goes S*itcom Crazy |
Mercury News reports: The Fox network is going
to be downright contrary this fall.
While other networks are stepping away
from the half-hour sitcom, Fox has announced an autumn schedule that embraces
it with nine returning comedies and two new ones. In addition, the network
-- once home of ``The X-Files'' -- is staying away from the supernatural
genre that, after the success of ABC's ``Lost'' this season, will pop up
all over the other networks' lineups come September. And, in something
of a rejection of its recent past, Fox doesn't have a single reality show
on its schedule until ``American Idol'' returns in January. [see full story
