Update #2: Natalie Portman to Topline ‘Suspiria’ Remake!
Update: We 100% confirmed the story with various sources, although, Natalie’s publicist is reporting otherwise and ensures us that nothing is signed and/or confirmed. Watch for further updates. We heard some interesting rumblings this afternoon that we are trying desperately to confirm. What we’ve been told – and should be taken strictly as rumor – is that Handsome Charlie Films, which is headed by Natalie Portman (pictured inside) and Annette Savitch, will be producing the remake of Dario Argento’s Suspiria. In addition, word has it Portman will topline the film that David Gordon Green is attached to direct. Green’s PINEAPPLE EXPRESS hits theaters tomorrow. Remember that this is RUMOR until confirmed.
In Dario Argento’s original a young American dancer travels to Europe to join a famous ballet school. As she arrives, the camera turns to another young woman, who appears to be fleeing from the school. She returns to her apartment where she is gruesomely murdered by a hideous creature. Meanwhile, the young American is trying to settle in at the ballet school, but hears strange noises and is troubled by bizarre occurrences. She eventually discovers that the school is merely a front for a much more sinister organization.

‘The Space Between’ Exclusive Teaser Trailer – Damian Maffei Stars in Indie Liminal Horror Movie
Liminal horror is all the rage right now in the wake of A24’s Backrooms dominating the box office, and up next from the sub-genre is the indie film The Space Between.
We recently told you that The Space Between had wrapped production inside an operational Midwestern mall, and now we’re exclusively debuting the teaser trailer today.
Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey At Night, Wrong Turn, Haunt) stars in The Space Between. Watch the teaser trailer below, and also find the official poster underneath.
Maffei plays Rick, an overnight security guard working inside a once-bustling shopping mall after closing. While quietly carrying the grief of losing his daughter, Rick clings to the structure of his nightly routine as a form of stability. Over the course of a single shift, that routine begins to fracture as something unseen retraces his every step.
Kate Kiddo (Black Eyed Susan, The Events Surrounding a Peeping Tom) co-stars in the liminal horror movie as Dispatch, Rick’s only point of contact during the night. She is a calm and steady voice guiding him through his rounds as the system he relies on begins to break down.
Production took place inside an operational Midwestern mall, utilizing real locations after hours to ground the film’s surveillance-driven psychological horror and liminal atmosphere. Built through a lean independent model, the production focused on performance, practical environments, and atmosphere.
Filmmakers were granted unlimited access to more than 96,000 square feet of retail, corridor, and back-of-house space for critical sequences, allowing the production to capture the scale, emptiness, and unsettling realism of a functioning mall after dark.
Writer/director Joshua Garity tells Bloody Disgusting, “The original image that helped define the internet’s idea of liminal horror was traced back to Wisconsin, and that matters because those are the kinds of spaces I grew up in. They were once the heartbeat of a community, but many of them have slowly eroded into something more unnerving. Half-empty malls that still echo with laughter, if you listen closely and strip away the fresh coats of paint. The Space Between comes from that same Midwestern familiarity. It’s not about recreating Backrooms, but about exploring why these spaces stay with you: the absence, the repetition, and the feeling that a place you know is somehow watching you back.”
The Space Between is targeting a Fall 2026 release. Stay tuned for updates.
