Robert Pattison is continuing to build out his producing slate as he is on board to produce a remake of the 1981 horror movie Possession, with Smile director Parker Finn on board to direct. Sources say that as of now Pattinson is only on board to produce, not star.

The package just hit the market with several buyers vying for rights. Finn will also pen the script. Pattinson is producing via his production company Icki Eneo Arlo along with Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee.

The original pic follows a woman who begins exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior after asking her husband for a divorce. Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.

Finn is repped by CAA, Grandview, and Jackoway Austen. Pattinson is repped by WME, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Curtis Brown Group.
