Suspiria Remake to be Cold, Dark, and Evil
Recently Suspiria remake director Luca Guadagnino sat down for a chat with IndieWire to talk about his approach to the new film. Rather than bathe the screen with an elaborate color scheme, Guadagnino says he’s tackling the material from a different angle visually.
“It’s a film about guilt and motherhood. It has no primary colors in its color palette, unlike the original. It will be cold, evil and really dark.”
He also went on to indicate that he’s currently in post on the project for Amazon Studios and Suspiria could be ready for release this year. No formal release plans have been discussed but we’ll keep our ears open!
Chloë Grace Moretz, Mia Goth, Dakota Johnson, and Tilda Swinton star.

Suspiria is written by David Kajganich, who adapts the “remake” from Argento and Daria Nicolodi’s original script, and directed by Luca Guadagnino.
Frenesy Film Company, Mythology Entertainment, First Sun Films, and Memo Films produce. Guadagnino, Brad Fischer, Kajganich, Francesco Melzi d’Eril, Marco Morabito, Gabriele Moratti, William Sherak, and Silvia Venturini Fendi are producers on the title while James Vanderbilt, Paul Deason, Massimiliano Violante, and Carlo Antonelli exec produce.
Amazon Studios picked up the project last year for worldwide distribution rights and is financing production.
Argento’s original, which was laden with the supernatural, witches, and a lot of blood, marked the beginning of the director’s “Three Mothers” trilogy, which was followed by Inferno (1980) and The Mother of Tears (2007).
Synopsis:
Suspiria is based on a young American ballet dancer who 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.
