Chase Infiniti is set to star in Dylan Clark’s horror film “Portrait of God,” which Lionsgate acquires and moves forward with production. The project is based on Clark’s viral short of the same name and is described as being greenlit following Infiniti’s boarding.
The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline also note that the film brings together producers Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele for the first time. Deadline adds additional production context, saying Lionsgate takes the title after it was placed in turnaround by Universal, which previously acquired the movie. The sources frame the cast addition and the studio change as key steps in getting the project to the next phase, building on Clark’s genre profile and the attention generated by the short.
Together, the outlets present a picture of a horror project transitioning between studios while assembling prominent creative talent, with Infiniti joining as the lead and Raimi and Peele teaming for production.
