Premise

An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company's CEO from an idyllic but mysterious "wellness center" at a remote location in the Swiss Alps.

When he begins to unravel its terrifying secrets, his sanity is tested, as he finds himself diagnosed with the same curious illness that keeps all the guests there longing for the cure.[1]

Production

A Cure for Wellness is an American-German co-production.[2] On October 7, 2014, it was announced that Gore Verbinski would direct the supernatural horror film A Cure for Wellness, scripted by Justin Haythe, for New Regency Pictures.[3] On April 8, 2015, Dane DeHaan and Mia Goth were cast in the film, DeHaan to play an employee who has been sent to rescue his boss from a European "wellness spa," while Goth would play a patient at the facility.[4] 20th Century Fox would handle the distribution rights while Verbinski would produce the film through his Blind Wink Productions.[4] Jason Isaacs was added to the cast on June 2, 2015 to play the villainous role of the facility's director who has dark designs on a patient.[5]

Principal photography for the film began on June 22, 2015.[6] The greater part of the film was shot at Hohenzollern Castle in the German municipality of Bisingen. The castle was completely closed off to the public for filming from July 13 to July 24, 2015. Aside from Hohenzollern, parts of the film were also shot in Saxony-Anhalt and Zella-Mehlis, Germany.[7]
The film received funds of €8.1 million, from the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF), as well as €500,000 from Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg.[8][9]
