Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is Scoring the ‘Suspiria’ Remake!
The two most iconic things about Dario Argento’s Suspiria are probably the lighting and the score. We already know that Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino is going dark rather than bright and colorful, but what about the score for his upcoming remake? The original film was scored by Goblin, and we’ve just learned that Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is on board for the remake!
Variety reports today that Yorke will compose the score for Guadagnino’s Suspiria, which recently completed production. This will be the first time Yorke has ever scored a feature.
Said Guadagnino:
[Working with Thom Yorke was] a dream come true. Our goal is to make a movie that will be a disturbing and transforming experience: for this ambition, we could not find a better partner than Thom.
Dakota Johnson, Chloe Grace-Moretz, Tilda Swinton and Mia Goth star. Jessica Harper, who played Suzy Bannion in the original film, will be popping up for a cameo appearance.
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.
David Kajganich wrote the film, co-financed by Amazon Studios and K Period Media.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
