Sean Bean, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Stacy Martin Will Lead POSSESSOR

Variety reports that Sean Bean, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Stacy Martin have joined Andrea Riseborough and Christopher Abbott in Brandon Cronenberg's "Possessor."

The sci-fi thriller follows Tasya Vos (Riseborough), an agent for a secretive organization that uses brain-implant technology to inhabit other people's bodies, driving them to commit assassinations for the benefit of high-paying clients. But something goes wrong on a routine job, and she soon finds herself trapped in the mind of an unwitting suspect (Abbott), whose appetite for violence turns out to rival her own.

"In addition to being exceptionally talented, Sean, Jennifer and Stacy have immense international appeal that perfectly rounds out the cast," said Hamilton. "Under Cronenberg's keen cinematic eye and teamed with the equally impressive Christopher and Andrea, this is the perfect complete package that makes 'Possessor' a must have for our buyers."

"We're thrilled with the team assembled: the stellar cast, the terrific production and sales teams, all led by one of the world's most intriguing directors," said Fichman on behalf of the producers.
