Logic notwithstanding, studios are increasingly grabbing for the brass ring. Warner Brothers last week began production of Exorcist II, starring Richard Burton. Initial budget: $10 million. Next year Warner will release two new megadisaster flicks produced by Irwin (Towering Inferno) Allen: The Swarm (bees do it) and The Day the World Ended. Each will cost well over $12 million. Paramount has in the works Dino De Laurentiis' remake of King Kong ($16 million or so).
