I am so grateful to my incredible partners at IDW for their tireless work to share this story with audiences around the world.”

“What immediately drew us to The Exorcism at 1600 Penn was how grounded and urgent it feels,” said Turek, executive vice president, feature film development for Blumhouse. “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.”
