Did you ever wonder what happened in Rosemary’s apartment before she moved in? I’m guessing you didn’t. I’m guessing it was just a perfectly normal New York City apartment until some really weird shit went down. But that’s not good enough for our origin-story-and-prequel obsessed era! There must be mysteries and dark forces! And also, somehow, Julia Garner (Ozark, pictured above), who seems very busy already.
Garner is set to star in Apartment 7A, which will air this fall on Paramount+. The summary says, “When a struggling, young dancer (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.”
The film is set in 1965 and, yes, somehow Rosemary’s apartment is involved. Natalie Erika James (Relic) is directing the film, and co-wrote the script with Christian White and Skylar James. James gets the “screen story” credit, and of course it’s all based on Ira Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby.
The rest of the cast includes national treasure Dianne Wiest (Edward Scissorhands), Jim Sturgess (One Day), Kevin McNally (The Crown), Marli Siu (Alex Rider), Andrew Buchan (Carnival Row), Rosy McEwen (The Alienist), and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (His Dark Materials).
No premiere date has been announced, but Paramount+’s executive VP of programming, Jeff Grossman, said in a press relesae, “Apartment 7Ais the perfect way to kick off the Halloween season.”
