Rosemary’s Baby Prequel Apartment 7A Reveals First Look at Julia Garner

Rosemary's Baby Prequel Apartment 7A Reveals First Look at Julia Garner

As a long-time horror fan and avid gamer of both movies and video games, I can’t help but get excited about the upcoming prequel “Apartment 7A” based on the classic horror film “Rosemary’s Baby.” Having grown up watching and re-watching the original 1968 classic, I was initially skeptical when I heard they were making a prequel. But after reading the latest updates from Vanity Fair and seeing the first photos of the cast, my interest has been piqued once again.


As a horror movie enthusiast with a deep appreciation for classic films and their impact on modern cinema, I’m thrilled to see the upcoming prequel “Apartment 7A” taking the same approach as “The First Omen” did for “The Omen.” Having grown up watching “Rosemary’s Baby,” I can only imagine the chills and suspense this prequel will bring.

As a huge fan of classic horror films, I’d describe “Apartment 7A” this way: In the thrilling world of 1965 New York City, before the chilling tale of “Rosemary’s Baby,” an aspiring young dancer endures a heart-wrenching injury. Desperate for a chance to recover and regain her lost dreams, she is inexplicably drawn into the orbit of a peculiar, influential older couple who tantalizingly offer her a path to fame. Little does she know, their promises hide sinister intentions.

When Natalie Erika James initially learned about the project, she expressed great skepticism. In fact, she hadn’t considered working on a remake of such an iconic film. However, she’s since discovered pleasure in delving into Ira Levin’s novel’s universe and experimenting with its characters. Essentially, what drew her to the project was the opportunity to unearth new emotional depths and put a unique spin on the genre.

Instead of delving into Rosemary’s past before the story begins, the film shifts its focus to her enigmatic neighbor Terry, played by Garner, who ended her own life in the initial narrative. James elucidated how Terry’s experiences differed significantly from Rosemary’s harrowing ordeal.

“Rosemary initially appears as an innocent victim of her husband’s decisions, but as the story unfolds, she becomes the one uncovering a dark conspiracy. In contrast, Terry seems to personify both Rosemary and Guy. She is both the recipient and instigator of a Faustian bargain. Though there’s a larger conspiracy at play, Terry feels implicated in her own suffering, making her ordeal even more terrifying.”
