"According to , Universal Pictures has acquired Portrait of God, a feature-length re-imagining of Dylan Clark's same-named short film. Clark will direct and co-write along with Joe Russo (the writer of horror films like The Inheritance, not the Marvel director). But the most exciting names attached are producers Jordan Peele and Sam Raimi, who are both known for their distinct flavors of horror: psychological thriller and gory splatstick, respectively."
"You can check out the original short film above, which follows a young girl named Mia as she practices a presentation on a pure black painting that supposedly reveals the face of God to some viewers. As she runs through her script, she starts to see something herself, but it might not be the blessing she thinks it is. The short is terrifying, but it's one scary moment that doesn't contain a feature's worth of story."
