Apartment 7A debuts exclusively on Paramount+ on September 27, 2024. Check out a few new images below and head over to Vanity Fair to see more and learn more.
From director Natalie Erika James (Relic), Apartment 7A will be taking us back to the iconic location for a new story that takes place before Rosemary’s Baby in NYC 1965.
The outlet explains the connection, “Julia Garner’s character, Terry (played in the original by Angela Dorian) is a young woman who crosses paths with Rosemary in the basement laundry room of The Bramford. Terry explains that the Castevets rescued her from homelessness and drug abuse, taking her into their lives and giving her free room and board.”
In Apartment 7A, “When a struggling, young dancer (Julia 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 is the perfect way to kick off the Halloween season,” said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President, Programming, Paramount+. “Director Natalie Erika James and the prodigious creative team have crafted a chilling and clever new entry into the genre.”
The psychological thriller is a Paramount+ original movie in association with Paramount Pictures and is based on the novel Rosemary’s Baby by Ira Levin. Directed by James, with a screen story by Skylar James and a script by Natalie Erika James & Christian White and Skylar James, the film is executive produced by Vicki Dee Rock and Alexa Ginsburg, and is produced by John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, p.g.a, Michael Bay, Andrew Form, p.g.a, and Brad Fuller.
The film from Paramount has been rated “R” for “Some violent content and drug use.”
