Paramount has released its first prevue forApartment 7A , its upcomingprequelto 1968’sRosemary ’s Baby . Have at it :
As detail in the trailer , the taradiddle is set in 1965 New York and touch an aspiring terpsichorean named Terry Gionoffrio ( Julia Garner ) who suffer an ankle trauma . After move into the original film ’s imprecate Bramford apartment building , she meets a well - connected elderly couple ( Dianne Wiest and Kevin McNally ) who call her a second luck at making her dreaming number true . By coincidence or design , a neighboring tenant ( Jim Sturgess)just so happensto be an influential Broadway manufacturer . Unsurprisingly if you ’ve seen the original , Terry has trouble remembering an evening spent with her newfangled supporter and may now be the unwilling mother of the Antichrist .
If this all sound silly and unnecessary to you , you ’re not wrong , but at least the costumes and set design look gracious . And we ’re very singular about thatsequin - beset demonat the end of the trailer mean to speculate the folly of showbiz , or whatever . Judging by the trailer , the production looks like a cosplay of the original film , so your gasoline mileage will vary on whether or not that ’s appeal to you . If you revel summer camp and horror franchise for their own saki , though , you ’ll likely find something to enjoy here .
