Qualley and Turner star in Possession remake set for 2027

A psychological horror classic is getting a glow-up. Paramount has officially announced the release date for Parker Finn’s highly anticipated remake of Andrzej Żuławski’s seminal 1981 film, Possession, setting the stage for a major cinematic event in 2027.

Marking the calendar for spooky surprises, the new version of Possession is slated to hit theaters on June 11, 2027. This highly charged psychological thriller will arrive alongside Universal’s live-action How to Train Your Dragon 2, promising a double dose of dramatic tension for audiences.

At the center of this intense remake are two powerhouse talents: Margaret Qualley and Callum Turner, who will embody the tormented married couple at the heart of Finn’s story. Their chemistry is set to deliver a visceral experience as they navigate the terrifying descent from love into infidelity, paranoia, and complete psychological breakdown.

The production team is assembling a stellar ensemble, with supporting roles filled by actors including Diego Calva, Madeline Brewer, Emory Cohen, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, and Paul Dano.

Filmmaker Parker Finn, known for his intense horror hits like Smile and Smile 2, is steering this ambitious project. He is tackling a film renowned for its surreal imagery and emotional extremity—a remake that invites massive debate about how best to handle such an unforgettable piece of cinema.

The original Possession, directed by Andrzej Żuławski, set against the backdrop of Cold War-era West Berlin, is a masterpiece of madness. It chronicles a marriage unraveling into infidelity, paranoia, body horror, and supernatural chaos. The sheer intensity of the source material makes recreating its unique blend of existential dread and physical turmoil a monumental task.

Despite the difficulty of replicating Żuławski’s legacy, the project has gained powerful backing. Isabelle Adjani, who played Anna in the original, has reportedly given her blessing to Margaret Qualley for the role, praising her talent and recognizing why a new generation wants to revisit this material.

Behind the scenes, the production is being led by an impressive team. The project is produced alongside Jonathan Fass through Finn’s Bad Feeling banner, with key producers including Roy Lee and Andrew Childs from Vertigo Entertainment, and Robert Pattinson also contributing to the effort.

As audiences await this cinematic journey into fractured relationships and supernatural madness, the conversation continues: how do you remake a film that was already legendary? Mark your calendars for Possession on June 11, 2027, and prepare for a truly unforgettable experience.
