Ellen Burstyn has revealed in a recent interview that she would not commit to a new Exorcist sequel series unless future generations of actors were compensated for. The 89-year-old Academy Award winner told The Hollywood Reporter recently that she rejected a "whole lot of money" at the start of negotiations to appear in an untitled Exorcist sequel. It was only after she had compelled actresses to create a scholarship fund for rising actors that she was keen to return to the legendary horror film that she argued.
