It may be December 2, but Christmas has come early for genre fans: Jordan Peele and Sam Raimi are teaming up with Universal to make a new religious horror movie -- and you can watch the chilling viral short in which it'll be based right now.
Taking inspiration from writer-director Dylan Clark's Portrait of a God, the film will presumably center on Mia Reilly, a young girl who's forced to wrestle with her own idea of faith as she analyzes a painting of the titular Almighty.
Before he gets to work on Portrait of God, Raimi will release "darkly comedic" horror-thriller Send Help. Starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, it follows Linda Liddle and her smug, condescending superior Bradley Preston after they crash land on a remote island on their way to an overseas event. What started out as a regular business trip turns into a bloodsoaked battle for survival, with the squabbling duo having to put aside their differences – and reassess their power dynamics – in a bid to make it back home.
Elsewhere, Peele is currently working on his untitled fourth feature, which was previously scheduled to release in Christmas 2024. After being pushed back to October 2026, strikes and other factors ultimately led to it being pulled from Universal's release calendar.
