After starring alongside Demi Moore in 2024’s The Substance, Margaret Qualley (Happy Gilmore 2, Honey Don’t, How to Make a Killing) could return to the horror genre for a remake of Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession, with Callum Turner (Masters of the Air, The Boys in the Boat, Green Room) as her co-star. I say could because, as of this posting, their casting is nothing more than a rumor. According to Nexus Point News, a remake of Possession is in the works at Paramount with Qualley and Turner looking to star. The project finds Smile filmmaker Parker Finn getting behind the camera, in addition to a producing role. Previous reports say Finn is producing Possession with Robert Pattinson, but there are no signs that Pattinson will star.
What is Possession about?
Andrzej Żuławski released Possession in 1981. The psychological horror film revolves around a woman, Anna, who starts exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior after asking her husband for a divorce. Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister. The film premiered at the 34th Cannes Film Festival, where Isabelle Adjani, who played Anna, won the Best Actress award.
What does Margaret Qualley have in the works?
Margaret Qualley’s Hollywood dance card is packed with upcoming projects, including How to Make a Killing, which recently completed filming. John Patton Ford directs How to Make a Killing from his own script, with Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley, Ed Harris, Topher Grace, and Jessica Henwick leading the cast. Disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family, blue-collar Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell) will stop at nothing to reclaim his inheritance, no matter how many relatives stand in his way. How to Make a Killing arrives on February 20, 2026.
Details on Callum Turner’s next movie
Callum Turner recently starred alongside Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller in the feel-good romance Eternity. Hailed as one of the best romantic comedies in years, Eternity has the following synopsis: In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with and her first love, who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive. Turner’s next film is Karim Aïnouz’s Rosebush Pruning, a dramatic thriller about a family struggling with genetic illnesses living on a country estate. Personal drama develops amongst them in this intimate portrait.
I recall seeing the box art for Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession in video stores back in the day, but never thought to rent it. The premise sounds intriguing, but I’ll need to learn more before saying I’m on board. I enjoyed Margaret Qualley a great deal in The Substance, and I’ll be damned if my social media feed doesn’t show me Spike Jonze’s video for Kenzo World every couple of scrolls. Maybe I’ll give this one a shot after seeing a trailer. That’s if this news turns out to be true. It is just a rumor after all.
