Dario Argento, the director of the original Suspiria, has confirmed that Natalie will be in the remake. This isn’t too much of a surprise. A few days ago I made an update detailing the story and how all the signs seemed to now be pointing in the direction of Natalie’s involvement.

If Green is still set to direct I’m more than happy with this news.

Below is a rough translation taken from here.
