- Chase Infiniti, a Golden Globe and Emmy nominee known for "One Battle After Another" and "The Testaments," has been cast as the lead in the horror film "Portrait of God."
- Lionsgate has acquired the rights to the project and greenlit it for production.
- Dylan Clark, described as an up-and-coming horror filmmaker, is directing "Portrait of God."
- Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele are attached as producers of the feature.
- The Deadline headline notes the project is "moving to Lionsgate," implying the film was previously set up elsewhere before the studio acquisition.
Why it matters: The pairing of horror heavyweights Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele as producers signals Lionsgate is investing in a prestige horror project, while casting Chase Infiniti — a recent awards contender — gives the director-uptime director a fast-rising lead. The Deadline framing of the film "moving to Lionsgate" indicates this is a project migration story, not just a fresh announcement.
