Thanks in large part to the incredible response out of CinemaCon last month, where the gruesome first footage was shown off, director Luca Guadagnino‘s new take on Dario Argento’s Suspiria is currently one of the mostly hotly-anticipated horror movies, with countless horror fans on Twitter *begging* the official account to release the footage.
We don’t have it yet, but Variety does report this week that Suspiria, which hails from Amazon Studios, Videa and Guadagnino’s Frenesy Films, will be getting a Fall 2018 theatrical release in Italy courtesy of Videa. As we recently learned, Amazon will be also be releasing Suspiria theatrically here in the States this coming Fall.
The site notes, “The Suspiria redo, which is completing post, is tipped for a launch from the Venice Film Festival in September. Amazon will be allowed to put it on its Amazon Prime platform in Italy after a five-month window.”
In Suspiria, “A young American ballet dancer travels to a prestigious dance academy in Europe, only to discover it is something far more sinister and supernatural. She becomes increasingly terrified after a series of gruesome murders ensue and she slowly unravels the dark history of the academy.”
The cast includes Dakota Johnson, Chloe Grace-Moretz, Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, Sylvie Testud, Angela Winkler, Małgosia Bela and Lutz Ebersdorf.
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke composed the score.
David Kajganich wrote the film, co-financed by Amazon Studios and K Period Media.
