Apartment 7A is an upcoming American psychological horror thriller film directed by Natalie Erika James from a screenplay she co-wrote with Christian White and Skylar James. It is intended to serve as a prequel to Rosemary's Baby (1968), the third film, and fourth installment overall in the Rosemary's Baby franchise. Julia Garner, Dianne Wiest, Jim Sturgess, and Kevin McNally star.

Apartment 7A is set to premiere at Fantastic Fest in September 2024 before being released simultaneously on Paramount+ and on digital video on demand on September 27.

Premise

Set in 1965 New York City, the film is said to center around a young dancer who rents a room from an elderly couple.[2][3]

Cast

Production

In 2008, a remake of Rosemary's Baby (1968) was in development from producers Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller.[11] The remake fell through later that same year.[12]

In March 2021, it was reported Natalie Erika James would direct the psychological thriller film Apartment 7A. James co-wrote the screenplay with Christian White, based on a previous draft of the script written by Skylar James. John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller produced the film, which was a joint-venture production between Paramount Players, Sunday Night Productions and Platinum Dunes. Following the success of the A Quiet Place franchise, the project was among several scripts that the studio was developing with a similar tone. Apartment 7A was chosen from those projects to quickly enter pre-production.[13]

In January 2022, Julia Garner was revealed to be starring in the leading role.[4] In March, Dianne Wiest joined the cast.[6] By the time filming had ended, additional casting announcements included Marli Siu,[9] Rosy McEwen,[10] Jim Sturgess, Kevin McNally, Andrew Buchan and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith.[3]

Principal photography began on March 15, 2022, in London.[14] On June 4, it was announced that filming had wrapped.[15][9] Later that month, Bloody Disgusting reported that the film was secretly a prequel to Rosemary's Baby, the film adaptation of Ira Levin's eponymous 1967 novel.[5] In August, the Writers Guild of America determined the film's final writing credits and confirmed it to be based on Levin's novel.[16] Reshoots took place in April and May 2023.[17]

Release

Apartment 7A is set to premiere at Fantastic Fest in September 2024[18] before being simultaneously released in the United States via video-on-demand and on Paramount+ on September 27.[19]
