There are certain horror creators whose stamp of approval means that the project they\u2019re endorsing\u2014a film, a book, a TV show\u2014is definitely not to be missed. Guillermo del Toro<\/a> and Stephen King<\/a> can launch a career with just a few kind words. But when an A-lister signs on to produce an emerging talent, you really want to sit up and take notice, especially when it\u2019s two A-listers, and their names are Sam Raimi<\/a> and Jordan Peele<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Neither of those guys needs any introduction, but combined they have critical acclaim and box-office bucks to spare, not to mention both being credited with helping to shape and reinvent the horror genre itself. So to hear they\u2019re collaborating for the first time is very cool news and adds instant intrigue to the mysterious film they\u2019re teaming up on. As Deadline<\/a> reports, it\u2019s called Portrait of God and is \u201ca spec from emerging filmmaker\u00a0Dylan Clark that expands on the world of his viral horror short of the same name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-written by Clark and Joe Russo (not that Joe Russo<\/a>), the film will be based on Clark\u2019s short, which you can watch below; it\u2019s notched 8.6 million views on YouTube since August 2022.<\/p>\n

The short runs just seven minutes and has an abbreviated plot\u2014\u201dA religious girl prepares a presentation about a painting titled Portrait of God. What she sees challenges her beliefs.\u201d Deadline notes the feature\u2019s story is being \u201ckept under wraps,\u201d but the short certainly gives a good idea of what the style and atmosphere will be like\u2026 as well as what drew Raimi and Peele to the project.<\/p>\n

A haunted painting that produces a manifestation that might not be benevolent\u2014and has a stirring effect on the young woman who\u2019s dutifully preparing to share it with, presumably, an entire classroom of like-minded students? What happens next? What other powers does the painting possess? And what should we make of that Biblical warning at the beginning?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot to explore in an expanded take on Portrait of God\u2018s story, and we\u2019re excited to see the end result, with Raimi and Peele\u2019s help to boot.<\/p>\n
