Paramount+ has announced the all-new original film “Apartment 7A,” a psychological thriller starring Golden Globe winner Julia Garner (“Ozark”), will premiere this fall exclusively on Paramount+ in the US and in select international markets.
The film, directed by Natalie Erika James (“Relic”), is set in 1965 New York City and tells the story before the legendary horror classic “Rosemary’s Baby.” It explores what happened in the apartment before Rosemary moved in.
The film follows a struggling young dancer (Garner) who, after suffering a devastating injury, finds herself drawn in by dark forces when a peculiar, well-connected, older couple promises her a shot at fame.
The film also stars two-time Academy Award winner Dianne Wiest (“Mayor of Kingstown”), Jim Sturgess (“Across the Universe”), and Kevin McNally (“Pirates of the Caribbean” film series). Additional supporting cast includes Marli Siu (“Everything I Know About Love”), Andrew Buchan (“All the Money in the World”), Rosy McEwen (“Blue Jean”), and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (“Wonka”).
“Apartment 7A is the perfect way to kick off the Halloween season,” said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President of programming at Paramount+. “Director Natalie Erika James and the prodigious creative team have crafted a chilling and clever new entry into the genre.”
“Apartment 7A” is based on the novel Rosemary’s Baby by Ira Levin. Vicki Dee Rock and Alexa Ginsburg executive produce the film, which is also produced by John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, p.g.a, Michael Bay, Andrew Form, p.g.a, and Brad Fuller.
