Cast

Production

In March 2021, it was reported Natalie Erika James would direct the psychological thriller film Apartment 7A. James co-wrote the screenplay with Christian White, based on a previous draft of the script written by Skylar James. John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller produced the film, which was a joint-venture production between Paramount Players, Sunday Night Productions and Platinum Dunes. Following the success of the A Quiet Place franchise, the project was among several scripts that the studio was developing with a similar tone. Apartment 7A was chosen from those projects to quickly enter pre-production.[10]

In January 2022, Julia Garner was revealed to be starring in the leading role.[4] In March, Dianne Wiest joined the cast.[5] By the time filming had ended, additional casting announcements included Marli Siu[7] and Rosy McEwen.[9]

Principal photography began on March 15, 2022, in London.[11] In April, Garner was spotted filming scenes for the 1950s-based movie in and around Beppe's Cafe, in the East End of London.[12] On June 4, it was announced that filming had wrapped in the United Kingdom.[13][7] Later that month, Bloody Disgusting reported that the film was secretly a prequel to the film Rosemary's Baby (1968).[3] In August, the Writers Guild of America determined the film's final writing credits, revealing it to be based on the 1967 novel by Ira Levin.[14]
