Jessica Harper, the actress who played the lead role in the original Suspiria movie, has joined the cast of the remake. Luca Guadagnino is helming the re-do of the Dario Argento horror classic, which will also star Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Mia Goth.
The 1977 original revolved around the character of Suzy (Jessica Harper), who travels to Germany to attend ballet school. When she arrives, late on a stormy night, no one lets her in, and she sees Pat (Eva Axén), another student, fleeing from the school. When Pat reaches her apartment, she is murdered. The next day, Suzy is admitted to her new school, but has a difficult time settling in. She hears noises, and often feels ill. As more people die, Suzy uncovers the terrifying secret history of the place.
The remake is set to hit cinemas in 2017 with production kicking off very soon.
