Global star Robert Pattinson and Smile filmmaker Parker Finn have teamed up to remake Possession, the cult 1981 psychological supernatural horror movie.
The project has engaged the town’s attention, with a bidding war breaking out among A24, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, and Warner Bros. The process is in the early stages, with meetings taking place this week, according to sources, and other companies may enter the fray.
Set in West Berlin, Possession starred Sam Neill as a spy who returns home from the field to his wife (Isabella Adjani) and son. All is not quiet on the marital front as the wife asks for a divorce and the couple next descends into a destructive cycle that not only includes infidelity and neglect but spins into murder, a tentacled alien creature, and doppelgangers.
Pattinson hasn’t been seen on the big screen since 2022’s The Batman and will return in January 2025 with Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17. Finn is repped by CAA, Grandview, and Jackoway Austen. Pattinson is repped by WME, 3 Arts Entertainment, and CurtisBrown Group.
