Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 psychological horror movie Possession is getting a remake from Smile writer/director Parker Finn, and Vanity Fair has revealed the two stars this week.
Margaret Qualley and Callum Turner will star in Parker Finn’s Possession.
Additionally, Vanity Fair has shared a photo of Parker Finn with Margaret Qualley and Callum Turner on the Paramount lot from a recent photo shoot. You can check that out below.
The project had caused a bidding war among major studios including A24, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, and Warner Bros., but ultimately Paramount secured the hot remake package.
Parker Finn is writing, directing and producing the new take on Possession.
Our own Brian Keiper celebrated Possession‘s 40th anniversary here on BD back in 2021, writing: “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 and Sam Neill star in the unforgettable 1981 horror movie.
In the film, a woman starts exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior after asking her husband for a divorce. Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.
