Antiviral director Brandon Cronenberg (yes, son of David) is back this year with brand new genre film Possessor, which earned rave reviews out of Sundance earlier in the year.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her 4.5 star review for BD, “For those that love cerebral thrillers with practical gore, wrapped up in a stimulating sci-fi package, this is a must.”
Reported by Deadline today, Cronenberg’s Possessor has been acquired by NEON. The company has taken U.S. rights, with a release date to be announced in the near future.
Well Go USA will be releasing Cronenberg’s latest on home video.
Possessor follows corporate agent Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough), who works for a secretive organization that uses brain-implant technology to inhabit other people’s bodies – ultimately driving them to commit assassinations for high-paying clients.
Christopher Abbott, Tuppence Middleton, Sean Bean and Jennifer Jason Leigh also star.
