Robert Pattinson's Possession remake has received an exciting update.
The upcoming horror film, which is a remake of the 1981 cult classic of the same name, has reportedly found its home over at Paramount Pictures following a bidding war with other Hollywood studios, said to include Warner Bros and Sony (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Smile filmmaker Parker Finn is set to write the script, direct and produce the film through his Bad Feeling production company, while Pattinson will produce through his production company Icki Eneo Arlo alongside Vertigo Entertainment's Roy Lee. It has not yet been confirmed whether Pattinson will also star.

The original Possession centres on international spy Mark (Sam Neill), who returns from the field to find that his wife, Anna (Isabella Adjani), wants a divorce.
When Mark hires a private investigator to follow Anna after a series of violent confrontations, suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.

Directed by Oscar-winning Parasite filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, Micky 17 centres on an expendable employee who is sent on an expedition to colonise a deadly ice planet.
"Whenever there's a mission that's too dangerous — even suicidal — the crew turns to Mickey7," the synopsis reads. "After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his deal... and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it."
Matt Reeves' The Batman Part 2 has also been delayed until 2026, with Pattinson set to reprise his role as the caped crusader.
