Chase Infiniti Cast in Mysterious Horror Feature Portrait of God

Chase Infiniti has been cast in her first film role since breaking out with One Battle After Another, a best picture winner.

Infiniti will star in Portrait of God, a mysterious horror feature directed by Dylan Clark, who co-wrote the script with Joe Russo. The film's plot remains under wraps, but sources describe it as a new take on religious horror. This is not the first time Clark has explored this theme, having released a short film with the same title online in 2022.

Clark's Portrait of God was initially set up at Universal, but the studio quietly dropped the project earlier this year. Lionsgate subsequently acquired the rights and greenlit the film. The production team boasts an impressive list of producers, including Sam Raimi for Ghost House Pictures and Jordan Peele for Monkeypaw - marking a collaboration between two horror heavyweights.

Rob Tapert and Win Rosenfeld are among the producers on board for Ghost House and Monkeypaw, respectively, joining the previously announced Russo. Additionally, Romel Adam and Jose Cañas oversee the project for Ghost House, while Chris Rosati is executive producing through his NAT20 Films banner as part of a first-look deal.

Chase Infiniti's breakout role in Paul Thomas Anderson's 'One Battle After Another' earned her six Oscar wins, cementing her status as a rising star. Her follow-up film, 'The Julia Set', was recently showcased at the Toronto International Film Festival and is now on the hunt for a buyer.

Dylan Clark's rise to prominence began with his high-horror short films posted on YouTube, which garnered millions of views and caught Hollywood's attention. Prior to 'Portrait of God', he will make his feature directorial debut with the reboot of the Blair Witch Project for Lionsgate and Blumhouse Atomic Monster.

The deal comes as studios are increasingly vying for young horror talent, following the success of films like Curry Barker's 'Obsession' and Kane Parson's 'Backrooms'.
