Earlier in the day it was announced by Crime Scene Pictures that Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan, The Hunger Games) landed the lead role in David Gordon Green's retelling of Dario Argento's genre classic Suspiria. Now after doing a bit of snooping around, we've uncovered the rest of the cast which includes the following thesps:

Isabelle Huppert (Amour, The Piano Teacher), Janet McTeer (Albert Nobbs, The Woman in Black), Michael Nyqvist (Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), and Antje Traue (Man of Steel).

The retelling is written by Green and Chris Gebert and centers on "Suzie (Fuhrman), a bright and ambitious American student who travels to Europe to attend a world renowned school. After a fellow student is brutally murdered and several other cruel and strange homicides disrupt the once quiet life on campus, Suzie realizes that the academy may be a front for a more menacing organization."

Suspiria is scheduled to begin lensing this September with costumes by three-time Academy Award winner Milena Canonero (Marie Antoinette, Chariots Of Fire, A Clockwork Orange), production design by Richard Wright, and cinematography by Tim Orr (Pineapple Express).

I have definitely been out of the loop. I had no idea there was going to be a Suspiria remake and this makes me BEYOND happy.

Fingers crossed it doesn't suck major balls.
