The Yellow Wallpaper

The Yellow Wallpaper (2011)

Are we already dead?

The Yellow Wallpaper (Motion Picture) is an "Origins Myth"... rather than a direct adaptation of the famous Charlotte Perkins Gilman story. Drawing from the original short story and a number of Gilmans' other gothic works (The Giant Wisteria, The Unwatched Door, etc.), The Yellow Wallpaper is an original narrative of events that unfold around the actual writing of "The Yellow Wallpaper" short story. After a devastating fire, Charlotte and John rent a countryside house and attempt to start life over, though Charlotte, upon seeing visions of her deceased daughter, retreats to the house's attic and pulls away from her husband and sister.

Interesting facts

The Yellow Wallpaper is a 2011 direct-to-video Gothic thriller film directed by Logan Thomas. It is based on the 1892 short story of the same name written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

Production

Most of the scenes in The Yellow Wallpaper were shot in Eatonton, Georgia, in and around an isolated Civil War-era house. The farmhouse's location is undisclosed, meant to represent, as the director puts it, ' a space outside of space'. Jessi Case recalled being frightened of the house where the film was shot. 'The stairs leading to the attic, where we filmed a lot of the scenes, were very narrow and it was very hot.

After the shooting of the film, Michael Moriarty retired from acting. It was his last feature film role.

The cast also includes Juliet Landau as Charlotte and Aric Cushing as her husband John, Veronica Cartwright, Raymond J. Barry, and Dale Dickey.

The script was written in three months by Logan Thomas and Aric Cushing. Cushing's intention was to popularize Gilman's work.

Juliet Landau, during an interview, compared her role to Nicole Kidman's role in The Others.
