Chloe Moretz, Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, and Mia Goth will be in Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Suspiria, but the question remains, should they?
Dario Argento says: “No.”
Guadagnino, the director of the English language film A Bigger Splash is directing the retelling of the classic horror film about a ballet dancer who goes to Europe to study dance, but finds out that the school she’s attending is evil.
Guadagnino’s been wanting to do this project for a long time, but in interview with IndieWire, Dario Argento said:
“I’ve been waiting for this project to come about for so many years. The copyrights were bought about seven years ago. First, they belonged to 20th Century Fox, then they were handed over to some other companies, and so on. But what’s really absurd — really unbelievable — is that I have never, ever been asked about it. I mean, I never got a call or anything, asking me about casting, locations, whatever. I know nothing about this project except what I read in the papers. I repeat: I have ever, ever been asked about it.”
“(If they asked me about it) I might give some advice on the screenplay, the script, maybe the locations. When I did the film, I did a lot of research with the location scout. I heard that this remake, if it’s ever made, will be shot again in Europe. So I might be able to provide useful advice about that. But, honestly, I do think it would be better if it wasn’t remade.”
Amazon Studios has acquired the worldwide distribution rights and is financing the production.
So giallo fans; what do you think?
