Maika Monroe is going to be one bad nanny.
In her first casting since starring in the horror hit Longlegs, Monroe has signed to topline 20th Century Studios’ remake of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
Michelle Garza Cervera is directing the feature that is being produced by Radar Pictures’ Ted Field and Michael Schaefer and Mike Larocca via their banner, Department M.
The project adapts the 1992 thriller originally distributed by Buena Vista Pictures and directed by Curtis Hanson. Rebecca De Mornay starred as a twisted widow who, distraught over losing her own baby, insinuates herself into a family as their nanny, with the ultimate goal of taking the kids and the husband for herself. Annabella Sciorra played the mother.
My understanding is she’s using the other hand, so technically, totes different.
