Video: Ghost Bustin’ Gone Wrong

Published

on

While we wait for Columbia Pictures to get off their asses and make us Ghostbusters 3, Funny or Die had a little fun of their own with the short film “Ghostbusters Return”. The 3-minute clip declares that the Ghostbusters are back! And they’re sort of assholes. Nuff said! I just wonder what it would be like to be slimed in bed….by her.

Parker Finn’s ‘Possession’ Remake Adds Diego Calva to the Cast

Her Private Hell actor Diego Calva is the latest to join the cast of writer-director Parker Finn‘s remake of Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 psychological horror movie Possession, Deadline reports today.

Calva joins previously announced cast members Margaret Qualley, Callum Turner, and Paul Dano.

Parker Finn is writing, directing and producing the new take on Possession.

No word on character or plot details yet, but the original film starred Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill as married couple Anna and Mark in Cold War-era West Berlin whose relationship spirals into a supernatural nightmare. Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.

If Finn is adhering closely to the 1981 film, then Calva could be up for playing Heinrich, Anna’s lover who finds himself in way over his head with Anna and Mark’s emotional baggage.

For Possession‘s 40th anniversary, Brian Keiper captures why a remake of this particular film feels so daunting and curious: “Few movies depict emotional turmoil as effectively and daringly as Andrzej Zulawksi’s Possession. It is a challenging and sometimes inscrutable film, both for the mind and the emotions. Zulawski struggles through a number of deep issues throughout the course of the film; issues that speak to some of humanity’s deepest pains and fears. In many ways it is about loss— loss of political ideals, loss of faith, and loss of innocence. But most of all, Possession is about the fear, pain, and anger that comes from the loss of a marriage.”

Isabelle Adjani previously gave the remake, and Qualley’s casting in particular, her blessing.

Producers include Jonathan Fass, Roy Lee, Andrew Childs, and Robert Pattinson. Marc Bienstock will executive produce.
