Rosemary’s Baby Movie Prequel Apartment 7A, Starring Julia Garner, Gets Release Date on Paramount+
Apartment 7A, a prequel to the 1968 psychological horror film Rosemary’s Baby, has scared up a pre-Halloween release date, exclusively on Paramount+.
The Julia Garner-led flick will drop Friday, Sept. 27, the streamer announced Wednesday.
Rosemary’s Baby, written and directed by Roman Polanski, starred Mia Farrow as Rosemary Woodhouse, a young newlywed who suspects her New York apartment building neighbors belong to a cult, and then fears that the baby she winds up carrying is the son of Satan.
Apartment 7A, starring Golden Globe winner Garner (Ozark) and directed by Natalie Erika James (Relic), is set in New York City circa 1965 and explores what happened in that apartment before Rosemary moved in.
The prequel’s premise: When a struggling, young dancer (played by Garner) suffers a devastating injury, she finds herself drawn in by dark forces when a peculiar, well-connected, older couple promises her a shot at fame.
Apartment 7A also stars two-time Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest, Jim Sturgess (Home Before Dark) and Kevin McNally (the Pirates of the Caribbean film series), with a supporting cast that includes Marli Siu (Alex Rider), Andrew Buchan (Carnival Row), Rosy McEwen (The Alienist) and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (The Split).
In addition to the snapshot above, Paramount+ has also released a handful of new first-look images from the film. Keep scrolling to view them all, then tell us in a comment if you’ll be watching Apartment 7A!
This would be awesome if it was the story of how Minnie Castevet came to be a satanist.
I’m assuming that she made the mistake of trusting the woman in Apt 23
Written by Roman Polanski? Ira Levin might have some thoughts on that.
Polanski wrote the screenplay. Levin wrote the book.
It’s really a shame to create a new story when Ira Levin has an actual backstory to the elderly occupant of the apartment in the novel, which Polanski held quite true to in the movie, but did not pen.
I can no longer associate myself with….
Why would anyone want a re-do on the “sick” Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby movie?
Everything is another senseless Prequel these days…
Rosemary’s Baby is my favorite movie. Ive watched it probably 40 times and can recite the lines. One thing I never understood is why Guy is attracted to Rosemary, who’s this little slip of a thing. That said, I’ll watch this, but I’m not hoping for much.
