A remake of Possession is ready to take over theaters.
Paramount Pictures has set a wide theatrical release for filmmaker Parker Finn‘s reimagining of the 1981 supernatural thriller feature on June 11, 2027. Callum Turner, Margaret Qualley, Diego Calva, Madeline Brewer, Emory Cohen, Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Paul Dano round out the cast.
Finn (Smile) helms Possession from his own script that is based on writer-director Andrzej Żuławski’s original film. Producers for the new movie include Finn and Jonathan Fass for Bad Feeling, alongside Roy Lee and Andrew Childs for Vertigo. Robert Pattinson also produces.
Also set for theatrical release on that same weekend is Universal’s live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon 2.
Starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill, the 1981 Possession centered on a woman going through a divorce who begins exhibiting bizarre behavior. A meditation on marriage, the international co-production between France and Germany was not a major hit but developed a cult following.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news in 2024 that Finn would team with producer Pattinson on the project, which had sparked a bidding war.
Finn made his feature directorial debut with 2022’s Smile, a breakout horror hit for Paramount that grossed $217 million globally on a $17 million budget. He also helmed the 2024 sequel.
Turner currently stars opposite Monica Barbaro in Will Gluck’s romantic comedy One Night Only, which hit theaters over the weekend from Universal. Qualley stars alongside Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin in Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars, which 20th Century is set to release theatrically later this month.
