LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - One would be forgiven for reacting with anger, or, more appropriately, horror, at the idea of "The Exorcist" being re-tooled for the small screen.

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Holly Hunter is one of those erstwhile Hollywood leading women -- like, say, Jill Clayburgh or Debra Winger -- whose name provokes a certain wistfulness, because there's no good reason why they stayed at the top such a short while. That is, none beyond the industry's infamously short attention span toward most female stars, who generally get shunted to the B list at an age where almost any other career would just be getting established. Those who miss the spunky, rueful, heart-of-gold Hunter from her early signature films will find something of a return to that form in "Strange Weather."
