Blumhouse-Atomic Monster is developing a feature adaptation of the IDW horror comic The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Deadline<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

Created and written by Hannah Rose May and illustrated by Vanesa Del Rey, the story is set at the White House as it becomes a demonic battleground for good versus evil.<\/p>\n

It follows the first female president of the United States as she balances boiling political tensions, the threat of World War III, being a mother to two teenagers, a rapidly shifting media landscape, and supernatural terror.<\/p>\n

Jason Blum will produce the film for Blumhouse, with Ryan Turek executive producing for the studio alongside May and IDW Publishing CEO Davidi Jonas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat immediately drew us to The Exorcism at 1600 Penn was how grounded and urgent it feels,\u201d said Turek. \u201cHannah has created a story that fuses classic possession horror with contemporary political tension in a way that feels bold and deeply human.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turek continues, \u201cIt is exactly the kind of material we look for when we think about expanding horror into new spaces, and we are excited to identify a filmmaker who can bring this world to the screen with the scale and perspective it deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting to work with Blumhouse to bring The Exorcism at 1600 Penn to the big screen feels like a dream come true,\u201d added May. \u201cBlumhouse has defined modern horror for a generation, and I could not be more excited to be working with them on this adaption.\u201d<\/p>\n

A sequel to the comic, The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace, is currently in release from IDW Dark.<\/p>\n
