Two generations of horror royalty will be teaming up for the first time. Deadline<\/a> reports that Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele are set to produce Portrait of God, a new horror thriller for Universal Pictures from director Dylan Clark, which will expand on his short film of the same name<\/a>. Clark also co-wrote the script for the feature with Joe Russo (The Inheritance).<\/p>\n

What Is Portrait of God About?<\/p>\n

Plot details are being kept under wraps for the time being, but the short follows a religious young woman who discovers the answer to the question, \u2018What does God look like?\u2019 \u201cOpening with a quote from the Old Testament \u2014 \u2018No man shall see Me and live\u2019 \u2014 it finds Mia sitting in the dark, practicing a slide presentation about a work of art dubbed \u2018Portrait of God,\u2019\u201d reads Deadline\u2019s description. \u201cTo some who view the painting, she says, it appears completely black. But others report seeing a person in the darkness \u2014 one who\u2019s been described time and again, in consistent detail. Minimalistic yet menacing, the short offers a counterpoint to the idea of God as a benevolent entity. Viewers of the portrait, beware.\u201d Sounds interesting.<\/p>\n

Peele will produce Portrait of God alongside Win Rosenfeld through Monkeypaw Productions, with Raimi and Romel Adam producing through Ghost House Pictures.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next for Jordan Peele and Sam Raimi?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it\u2019s difficult to say when we\u2019ll see Jordan Peele\u2019s next film, as his follow-up to Nope has been delayed repeatedly. The project was originally slated to be released last December, but it was pushed back again and again until Universal actually pulled the film from its schedule<\/a> in September. We don\u2019t know much about it, but Peele himself did say that it had potential to be \u201cmy favorite movie if I make it right.\u201d Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n

As for Raimi, it\u2019s much happier news. He\u2019s back in the director\u2019s chair for Send Help, a horror thriller starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O\u2019Brien. \u201cLinda Liddle and Bradley Preston are two colleagues who find themselves stranded on a deserted island after they are the only survivors of a plane crash,\u201d reads the description. \u201cThey must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it is an unsettling and darkly humorous battle of wills and wits to make it out alive.\u201d The film is slated to hit theaters on January 30, 2026. The trailer<\/a> looks like fun, and I\u2019m always down for whatever Raimi wants to give us.<\/p>\n
