James Bond hopeful Callum Turner will star alongside The Substance star Margaret Qualley in the film, which is being directed by Smile's Parker Finn and is currently shooting in New Jersey.

Cast for the remake also includes Paul Dano, The night Manager star Diego Calva, The Handmaid's Tale's Madeline Brewer, The OA actor Emory Cohen and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story breakout Nicholas Alexander Chavez.

While horror remakes are hardly a new phenomenon, there has been some skepticism about this new project from fans of Andrzej Żuławski's original, owing to the highly singular nature of that 1981 film.

Set in Berlin, the film boasted sensational performances from French acting icon Isabelle Adjani and the late, great Sam Neill as a married couple going through an especially intense divorce.

A scene of Adjani's character Anna having a visceral breakdown at an empty Subway station has become especially iconic, while the film's surreal, fevered tone is one that feels entirely unique in the history of cinema.

Still, Adjani recently gave her blessing to Qualley and the remake, writing on Instagram that: "My warmest thoughts are with Margaret Qualley, every single day."

The project – which also boasts Robert Pattinson as a producer – was confirmed in July 2024, but little else beyond the casting has been officially revealed at this stage.

It will certainly be interesting to see how it measures up to the original – which has become increasingly popular among cinephiles in recent years – and we have less than a year to find out.
