Robert Pattinson and Parker Finn Remaking ‘Possession,’ the 1981 Isabelle Adjani Cult Horror Classic

The 1981 Isabelle Adjani cult classic 'Possession' is getting a remake from Robert Pattinson and writer/director Parker Finn.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, actor/producer Robert Pattinson and “Smile” writer/director Parker Finn are attached to remount the body horror divorce nightmare that starred Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani as a couple coming apart. “Possession” is a film now arguably more famous for the TikToks and internet memes it’s inspired — mostly of Adjani, in an addled state, writhing around a Berlin subway tunnel and miscarrying a milky mix of ooze and blood — than its actual release. A scene in which he had to slap his co-star remains “ the most distressing thing I’ve ever done.” The most harrowing “Possession” moments find the couple flinging at each other in extended crisis, with Adjani’s Anna at one point taking a meat carver to her neck.
