Ready for a chilling trip down memory lane? The 1968 classic Rosemary’s Baby is getting a prequel – Apartment 7A. Director Natalie Erika James, known for her contribution to movies like Relic, has carefully crafted this psychological thriller. Two years post filming and the rumors are true. Apartment 7A is a journey of events before Rosemary moved into her infamous New York apartment. The movie is scheduled to launch on Paramount+ in the U.S. and in selected international markets on September 27, marking the onset of the Halloween season.

Julia Garner, Celebrated for her work in Netflix’s hit show Ozark, will be taking the lead in Apartment 7A. The movie’s plot unfolds around a young struggling dancer, played by Garner, who succumbs to a harsh injury. Promise of fame by a mysterious elderly couple pulls her into a whirlpool of darkness. The plot entices viewers into the puzzling world of New York City during 1965, a time preceding the original Rosemary’s Baby.

The Tale’s Origin and Relevancy

Scripted originally by Skylar James, the movie underwent transformation through the hands of Natalie Erika James and Christian White. Skylar James is known for his work on the comedic Netflix series, The Green Beret’s Guide to the Apocalypse, a project produced by Matt Damon that unfortunately never saw the light of day. “Playing with characters of Ira Levin’s novel has been a joy while exploring different emotional journeys,” said Natalie Erika James, who took pride in her work on Apartment 7A.

Linking to Rosemary’s Baby Story

Vanity Fair points out a notable character from Rosemary’s Baby—Terry, a young woman who was helped out of homelessness and drug abuse by Rosemary’s neighbors, Minnie and Roman Castevet. In Apartment 7A, the recreation of Terry’s encounter with Rosemary in the basement laundry room of The Bramford is eagerly anticipated by fans of the original.

Star-studded Cast Details

Besides Julia Garner, the movie features an ensemble cast including Dianne Wiest (The Lost Boys), Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe), Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean franchise), Marli Siu (Anna and the Apocalypse), Andrew Buchan (All the Money in the World), Rosy McEwen (Blue Jean), and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (Wonka).

A Sequal Excitement Building Up

Jeff Grossman from Paramount+ states, “Director Natalie Erika James and her brilliant team have created a nerve-racking and clever entry into the genre with Apartment 7A.” Co-produced by John Krasinski with Allyson Seeger under their firm, Sunday Night Productions, the movie also has production credits from producer-duo Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller from Platinum Dunes.

Final Confirmation and Release

With an R-rating for some violent content and drug use, Apartment 7A is all set to make its mark on the horror genre. Sneak peek images released by Vanity Fair are creating a buzz among fans, escalating the excitement for its release. As we shoot towards the release date, are you ready for Apartment 7A?
