Isabelle Fuhrman (The Hunger Games, Orphan) is set to headline David Gordon Green's Suspiria, Crime Scene Pictures announced today. The just-revealed cast also includes Isabelle Huppert (Amour, The Piano Teacher), Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs, The Woman in Black), Michael Nyqvist (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and Antje Traue (Man of Steel).
Based on Dario Argento's 1977 film of the same name, Suspiria
is written by Green and Chris Gebert and centers on Suzie (Fuhrman), a
bright and ambitious American student who travels to Europe to attend a
world renowned school. After a fellow student is brutally murdered and
several other cruel and strange homicides disrupt the once quiet life on
campus, Suzie realizes that the academy may be a front for a more
menacing organization.
Producers Luca Guadagnino and Francesco Melzi d’Eril said: “We
started to develop 'Suspiria' at the time we were preparing 'I Am Love'
and expect to make another notable film capable of reaching an even much
broader international audience.”
The film is scheduled to begin lensing this September with costumes by three time Academy Award winner-Milena Canonero (Marie Antoinette, Chariots Of Fire, A Clockwork Orange), Production Design by Richard Wright and Cinematography by Tim Orr (Pineapple Express).
Crime Scene Pictures' Adam Ripp and Rob Paris will finance and have partnered to produce with the team behind I Am Love,
Luca Guadagino’s First Sun and Francesco Melzi d’Eril’s Memo Films.
First Sun’s Marco Morabito and Memo’s Gabriele Moratti will also
produce. Rizal Risjad, Silvia Fendi and Philip Elway will executive
produce and Lisa Muskat will co-produce.
