First Teaser Poster For The New Suspiria

With the success of Call Me By Your Name still resonating, director Luca Guadagnino is already on the home stretch of his next film, which promises to be very different, sensual and intense in a whole other way. He brought the first footage from his remake of 1977's Suspiria to the CinemaCon event in Las Vegas, and while none of that material is online, the first teaser poster has arrived.

The image, designed by veteran title artist Dan Perri, is the first to emerge from the movie, which sees a young American dancer (Dakota Johnson) heading to the prestigious Markos Tanz Company in 1970s Berlin and becoming a star pupil under the tutelage of Madame Blanc (Tilda Swinton). She befriends another dancer, but comes to fear that the place harbours a dark secret.

In the footage shown at the Vegas event, we see Johnson's character dancing for Swinton and then hoofing alone as her torso splits and contorts. Yes, it appears to be aiming to outdo Black Swan in terms of ballet terror.

Amazon is handling the film in the States, and it should be out later this year.
