Horror is riding on the crest of a wave right now, but there’s always room to dip into the archives and remake a classic, right?
Possession, the 1981 supernatural horror from director Andrzej Żuławski, is being remade by Smile director Parker Finn, with Robert Pattinson on producing duties.
The outlet reports that multiple distributors –A24, Netflix, Paramount,Sonyand Warner Bros. – are all vying for the project.
The OG Possession starred Sam Neill as a spy who is suddenly confronted by his wife’s request for a divorce. Soon, doppelgangers, lovers, and gruesome creatures arrive on the scene – and it only gets weirder from there.
