New Exorcist Movie 2016

I have just read a wikipedia article which relates to a remake of The Exorcist, where Russell Crowe has been cast as Father Karras, Sharon Stone as Chris Macneil, Jennifer Lawrence as Regan, Christopher Walken as Merrin, and bob Gunton as Lieutenant Kinderman, The outline was the same storyline, no veering away from the original, it stated it was supposedly to be released March 2016, I am aware that date has since passed, and am curious as to why such an article would be live, given that no such remake has been made. It was to be directed by Michael bay, with input from Bill Friedkin, is there any truth to this story, is the project still on, or is it dead in the water, I find it incredible that one of the most iconic films of all time has not been remade for a modern audience, could it be that Blatty and Friedkin don’t want to tarnish the legacy of the original.
