Robert Pattinson, ‘Smile’ Filmmaker Parker Finn Team for Remake of ’80s Horror Movie ‘Possession’

The new take on the 1981 psychological supernatural horror movie has sparked a bidding war, currently under way.

Finn has quietly teamed with Robert Pattinson to remake Possession, the cult 1981 psychological supernatural horror movie written and directed by Polish filmmaker Andrzej Żuławski. 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. The movie, an international co-production between France and Germany, was not a hit nor particularly well-received when it was released, but it gained a cult status for the filmmaker’s full commitment to the premise and went through a re-appraisal.
