The White House definitely needs an exorcism…
Blumhouse and Atomic Monster have stepped up to the plate to developing a feature adaptation of The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, the comic book series created and written by Hannah Rose May, according to a report on Deadline.
The official synopsis of the graphic novel, which was released by IDW Publishing reads “Kelly Doyle has just been elected the first female president of the United States of America, and boiling political tension could spill over at any second. Having to balance being a mother to two teenagers and navigating the shifting media landscape, all while preventing World War III, has Kelly spread thin, but she could never predict that the nation’s hallowed halls would soon become a demonic battleground for good versus evil.”
“What immediately drew us to THE EXORCISM AT 1600 PENN was how grounded and urgent it feels,” said Blumhouse’s EVP Feature Development RyanTurek in a statement to Deadline. “Hannah has created a story that fuses classic possession horror with contemporary political tension in a way that feels bold and deeply human. It is exactly the kind of material we look for when we think about expanding horror into new spaces, and we are excited to identify a filmmaker who can bring this world to the screen with the scale and perspective it deserves.”
