π° What Happened
Madeline Brewer, Emory Cohen, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez join Margaret Qualley, Callum Turner, Paul Dano, and Diego Calva in Paramount's remake of the supernatural thriller 'Possession'. Parker Finn ('Smile') is directing and co-producing. The film is based on the 1981 cult classic about a woman's disturbing transformation after seeking a divorce.
π The Backstory
The original 'Possession' (1981), directed by Andrzej Ε»uΕawski and starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill, is a revered cult classic of psychological horror. Parker Finn broke out with the blockbuster 'Smile' (2022). Roy Lee is producing through Vertigo, and Robert Pattinson is also attached as a producer.
π― Why It Matters
The 'Possession' remake brings together an exceptional cast and a hot director in what could be one of the most anticipated horror releases. It tests whether Finn can succeed outside the 'Smile' franchise and whether a studio can successfully modernise a revered cult classic for a contemporary audience.
