We've steadily been getting tidbits of late for Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria remake (or reimagining, as the director would prefer) - stories of the filming sending Dakota Johnson to therapy, Cinema Con attendees losing their lunch over the first body-breaking footage, and a reported sprawling 2.5 hour running time. What once sounded like a potentially dubious project is sounding more and more like something worthy of standing next to Dario Argento's original masterwork...
But what we've had precious little of is an official look at what Guadagnino has in store - those blurry set photos of a makeup-drenched Tilda Swinton do not count! But we can relax for now, because Amazon just gave us a first look at Johnson's braided ballerina. Immediately noticeable is the more era appropriate color pallete versus Argento's primary color opulence. Is Dakota's pensive face the calm before a very gory storm, or is she just thinkin' about witches?
Suspiria will arrive (oddly late for Halloween) on November 2nd.
