Director David Gordon Green’s remake of the 1977 horror film Suspiria is finally set to get underway later this year. The Pineapple Express director has been talking about the project for years now, with a previous start date planned for 2010 after he finished Your Highness. Obviously that didn’t happen, and Green instead chose to shoot the comedy The Sitter with Jonah Hill. Now Crime Scene Pictures announced today that they will produce and finance Suspiria, with filming set to begin in September. Dario Argento’s original Suspiria centered on a young America student who travels to Europe to attend a world renowned school, but after a fellow student is brutally murdered and other ominous homicides occur, she begins to suspect that the school is a front for something much more sinister. Argento’s iteration took place at a dance academy, but it’s unknown if Green will be keeping that aspect of the pic. The press release notes that Green will “brilliantly update the world,” so make of that what you will. Casting is currently underway for the lead role of Suzie.
