Production
In 2008, a remake of Rosemary's Baby (1968) was in development from producers Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller.[10] The remake fell through later that same year.[11] 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.[12]
In January 2022, Julia Garner was revealed to be starring in the leading role.[3] In March, Dianne Wiest joined the cast.[5] By the time filming had ended, additional casting announcements included Marli Siu[8] and Rosy McEwen.[9]
Principal photography began on March 15, 2022, in London.[13] On June 4, it was announced that filming had wrapped.[14][8] 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.[4] In August, the Writers Guild of America determined the film's final writing credits and confirmed it to be based on Levin's novel.[15] Reshoots took place in April and May 2023.[16]
Release
The film will premiere on Paramount+ in the United States and select international territories sometime in the lead-up to Halloween 2024.[2]
