In the realm of horror films, the year 2021 brought an exciting announcement. Natalie Erika James, known for her directorial work on “Relic,” was set to collaborate with John Krasinski on a new project titled “Apartment 7A.” The film was initially described as a “psychological thriller,” but specifics were sparse, leaving fans and critics intrigued and speculative.
The Revelation
Then, 2022 brought a revelation that sent shockwaves through the industry. Bloody Disgusting, a renowned horror film platform, proposed a theory that “Apartment 7A” was in fact a covert prequel to the iconic “Rosemary’s Baby.” This theory was later confirmed by other sources, including a recent first look at the film by Vanity Fair. The horror film is now slated to debut on Paramount+ 56 years after the original “Rosemary’s Baby,” directed by Roman Polanski, first graced the silver screen.
The Cast
“Apartment 7A” features a star-studded cast, including breakout “Ozark” actress and future “Fantastic Four” star Julia Garner. Garner plays the character of Terry Gionoffrio, who, in a spoiler for those unfamiliar with the 56-year-old “Rosemary’s Baby,” tragically dies at the start of the film. This casting choice was not confirmed until recently, adding another layer of suspense to the project. The film, co-written by Natalie Erika James, Christian White, and Skylar James, also stars Dianne Wiest as Minnie Castevet, the devil-worshipping neighbor originally played by Ruth Gordon in an Oscar-winning performance in Polanski’s film.
First Glimpse
Finally, the first footage from “Apartment 7A” has been released, courtesy of today’s trailer premiere. The trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into what promises to be a thrilling addition to the horror genre.
