Burstyn agreed to return to the Exorcist franchise after being in the 1973 original. She agreed after producers created a scholarship for actors at Pace University.

It will be helmed by Halloween Kills director David Gordon Green.

"So I then went back and upped their up and ended up getting what I want. And I've got a scholarship program for young actors."

There are two auditions: a preliminary audition and then if they pass that, there’s a final audition. That’s the basic way to get in. Now, the Actors Studio also has a master’s degree program at Pace University and those actors, when they graduate with their MFA, they don’t have to do a preliminary because we know that they’ve been trained by our teachers. So they go right to a final audition. And very often they become permanent members of the Actors Studio, but not always. Some do, some don’t.
