Horror fans were already buzzing over the first collaboration between Sam Raimi<\/a> and Jordan Peele<\/a>, who announced late last year<\/a> they\u2019d be teaming up to produce a film called Portrait of God. Now, the film\u2014an expansion of the short by Dylan Clark, who will also direct and co-write the feature\u2014has an A-lister topping the call sheet in Chase Infiniti, star of The Testaments<\/a> and One Battle After Another.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s a new studio attached too: Lionsgate, which said in a press release that Portrait of God has officially been greenlit for production.<\/p>\n

Clark\u2019s feature debut, a reimagining of The Blair Witch Project, is also a Lionsgate release and has a release date of September 24, 2027<\/a>. Raimi also has a Lionsgate film in the works, a modern take on Magic<\/a>, the William Goldman novel that also inspired the very creepy 1978 movie starring Anthony Hopkins.<\/p>\n

As for Portrait of God, the seven-minute short film is available on Clark\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a> and has racked up 10 million views in the four years it\u2019s been on the platform. (You can also watch it on Vimeo<\/a>.) The very brief description is \u201cA religious girl must come to terms with her faith when she analyzes a provocative painting of God.\u201d<\/p>\n

The feature will certainly expand quite a bit on its source material, but we do love the \u201chaunted artwork<\/a>\u201d horror subgenre, and Portrait of God definitely fits the bill. There\u2019s no release date yet, but 2027\u2019s Blair Witch is first on Clark\u2019s to-do list.<\/p>\n
