Paul Dano is set to join the cast of Paramount Pictures’ remake of the 1981 supernatural horror thriller Possession. The original film, directed by Andrzej Żuławski, premiered in 1981 and starred Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani. In the new production, Deadline reports that Dano will star opposite Callum Turner and Margaret Qualley; specific character details have not been released. Both outlets connect the project to Parker Finn, who is the writer-director behind the remake. Finn previously gained prominence with the horror franchise Smile, and he announces his Possession remake approach in 2024. ComingSoon.net also describes the remake as a “star-filled” cast addition and confirms Dano’s involvement. While the sources do not provide further plot information or the roles Dano and the other cast members will play, they agree on the key points: Dano’s casting, Paramount’s involvement, Finn’s role as writer-director, and the project’s basis in the 1981 Żuławski-directed film.
