Yes, io9 used a very similar headline in 2017 regarding a remake of The Raven—and Hollywood clearly didn’t listen; that project that has been going on for a long time hits theaters this August. As The Raven Replay rates remain to be seen (perhaps The appearance of Bill Skarsgård’s Joker will magically work?), but we must insist, once again, that another beloved genre classic be left alone, no matter how much we enjoy the talent involved.

According to the hollywood reporterAndrzej Zulawski’s uniquely disturbing 1981 film Possession is enjoying the remake track with writer-director Parker Finn (Smile) and producer Robert Pattinson, an obvious choice to star as well, although THR notes that “his involvement as an actor will become clearer in the future as the script and schedules develop.” The original movie stars Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani as a couple living in West Berlin whose marriage fractures amid surreal and supernatural circumstances. It’s haunting and has since become a cult classic.
The trade also reports that several studios are fighting over who will, uh, get ownership of Possession, including “A24, Netflix, Paramount, Sony and Warner Bros,” and that “other companies may enter the fray.” “Reception to the releases has been extremely positive, with executives talking about the ‘shit’ and ‘out there’ story, but also about its strong commercial potential. How to market the final film is also part of the conversations.”
What do you think about redoing? Possession—and in fact, are you counting down to The Raven?
