After a competitive bidding war, Paramount Pictures has entered into exclusive talks to remake the 1981 psychological supernatural thriller, “Possession,” according to an insider with knowledge of the project.
Parker Finn is attached to write the script, direct and produce via his Bad Feeling Banner. Roy Lee is producing via his Vertigo banner alongside Finn and Robert Pattinson, who will produce via his Icki Eneo Arlo banner.
It is currently unknown if Pattinson will star in the project. The package initially went out mid-June, which sparked a bidding war. Other bidders included Warner Bros., Sony and Paramount.
The original 1981 “Possession” was written and directed by Polish filmmaker Andrzej Żuławsk and was a surreal horror film set in West Berlin.
