‘Possession’ Remake Release Date Set By Paramount

Paramount has set a release date for its remake of the 1981 cult horror film Possession from Smile‘s Parker Finn.

The film, starring Callum Turner and Margaret Qualley, will open wide in theaters on June 11, 2027. It’s set to open against Universal Pictures’ How to Train Your Dragon 2.

Written and directed by Andrzej Żuławski, the original Possession starred Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill as a married couple in Cold War-era West Berlin whose relationship spirals into supernatural terror. A landmark of arthouse genre cinema, the film won Adjani the prize for Best Actress at Cannes.

Turner and Qualley will star as the couple in this version, with Diego Calva, Madeline Brewer, Emory Cohen, Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Paul Dano rounding out the cast. Finn is directing from his own script and producing alongside Jonathan Fass via Bad Feeling, along with Roy Lee and Andrew Childs via Vertigo, and Robert Pattinson. Marc Bienstock is serving as exec producer.

One week prior to Possession, on June 4, Columbia Pictures unveils its JT Mollner horror film Skeletons, starring Brie Larson, opposite Lionsgate’s John Rambo. The week following, on June 18, Columbia returns with the long anticipated animated threequel Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
