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.

There aren't many remakes where you think "well that is overdue".

The only ones I am looking forward to are Edgar Wright's Running Man and Barbarella but they are technically re-adaptations.

The movies that need remakes are the ones that had potential but just sucked (or at least, failed to deliver a fraction of what they could have been). Unfortunately, those are rarely huge hits that people will still recognize decades later. It's the popular and successful movies that they want to remake.

My understanding is she’s using the other hand, so technically, totes different.
