Horror classic returns as prequel, first footage here

The first shots from the prequel to Roman Polanski’s classic horror have hit the web. The action of “Apartment 7A” will tell the story of events before those known to us from “Rosemary’s Baby.”

The fashion for prequels, sequels and spin-offs has taken over the film and television market, serving viewers more titles with plot connections to well-known productions. We already have “Blood of the Dragon” set in the “Game of Thrones” universe, “Better Call Saul”, a story about the fate of the lawyer from “Breaking Bad”, and soon “Citadel: Diana” will hit the screens, set in the universe started by the Russo brothers. Well, the list could go on for a long time, but the point is that filmmakers are not slowing down at all, reaching for older cinema classics.
