Horror powerhouses Jason Blum's Blumhouse and James Wan's Atomic Monster are on the march once again to bring another horror project to life. This time, they are working on a feature film adaptation of The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, a comic book series created by Hannah Rose May and Eisner Award-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire.
Illustrated by Vanesa Del Rey, the comic is a supernatural political thriller that follows the story of the first United States female president, Kelly Doyle, as she leads the fight between good and evil, balancing the threat of World War 3, a changing media landscape, and two teenage kids.

In conversation with Deadline, Blumhouse's VP of Development Ryan Turek expressed his excitement about landing the right source material that is classic yet contemporary and fits right in the bill of studios' expansion strategy.
"What immediately drew us to The Exorcism at 1600 Penn was how grounded and urgent it feels. 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…"
May also shared her excitement about working with Blumhouse: "Getting to work with Blumhouse to bring The Exorcism at 1600 Penn to the big screen feels like a dream come true."
