Maika Monroe (Longlegs) has signed to star in 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 is an adaptation of 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.

The reimagining was conceived by Cervera and scripted by Micah Bloomberg. The project is seen as a two-hander and sources say that Monroe was the first choice for the role of nanny.

Monroe is poised next to shoot the subversive fairy tale 100 Nights of Hero with Emma Corrin.
