Sam Raimi, Jordan Peele team up for 'Portrait of God' horror film
Entertainment
Horror icons Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele are teaming up to produce a feature film based on Dylan Clark's viral YouTube short, Portrait of God.
The original seven-minute video—about a religious girl preparing a school presentation on a mysterious painting—has already pulled in over 8.6 million views since 2022.
Why does it matter?
This is the first time Raimi and Peele are working together, which is pretty exciting for horror fans.
The story dives into themes of faith and perception, with supernatural twists that challenge what the main character believes.
Plus, it's a cool example of how viral online content can catch the eye of big-name filmmakers and turn into something much bigger.
