William Friedkin slams the amount of comic book adaptations coming out of Hollywood.

The Exorcist director called for the development of original movies geared towards an adult audience. According to AFP, Friedkin said: "It's harder and harder to do [original adult material] in this climate of American film... which is mostly concerned with movies that are comic books and remakes." "The audiences have changed. They are conditioned by television and television is aimed at the lowest common denominator... their expectations are lower."

Friedkin, whose previous films include The French Connection and 12 Angry Men, is currently promoting his latest release Killer Joe, which stars Matthew McConaughey and Emile Hirsch.
