* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Enjoying the succcess of ''Movie/TheExorcist'' in 1973, and inspired by the fantasy story printed on the back cover of ''[[Music/{{Genesis}} Genesis Live]]'', Friedkin asked [[Music/{{Genesis}} the band's]] then-frontman, PeterGabriel, among other figures outside of the film industry, to come up with ideas the director could use to create new movies. Gabriel, seeing this as a golden opportunity and a chance to branch out from his Genesis duties, took a trip to see Friedkin and brainstorm. Members of the band, which was in the middle of writing and recording ''Music/TheLambLiesDownOnBroadway'' at the time, felt uncomfortable and resentful with the idea, disliked that Gabriel wasn't fully giving his attention or commitment to the band and the album, and saw it as a threat that their frontman might leave at any time. This attitude within the band, which later they [[OldShame would regret]], was part of the impetus for Gabriel leaving the band (Friedkin had as well felt guilty, as he only wanted ideas and did not want the band to break up due to him).
