Polanski would lift dialogue and scenes from the book for his script. William Castle originally took the galley proofs to Robert Evans, head of production at Paramount. He already a few successes under his belt such as The Odd Couple and Barefoot in the Park. It was agreed that William Castle would act as producer and Robert Evans went after Roman Polanski for the role of director. After Polanski read the book, he jumped on board and cast Mia Farrow, John Cassevetes, and older actors such Ruth Gordon, Sidney Blackmer, Maurice Evans, Elisha Cook, Peggy Kelly and Charles Grodin to round off the cast. The film is an inspiration for all film buffs and the book is still selling extremely well to this day. Ira Levin wrote a sequel to the book in 1997 called 'The Son of Rosemary' which sold well but was a critical failure. Written by Keith Chawgo See less
