Mary Elizabeth Winstead (10 Cloverfield Lane) is set to star opposite Maika Monroe (Longlegs) in the 20th Century Studios’ remake of the hit 1992 nightmare nanny thriller, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Winstead will play a happily married wife and mom whose family is targeted by a deranged au pair who wants her newborn.

The role was originally played by Annabella Sciorra (Romeo Is Bleeding) in the 1992 classic. Hollywood sex symbol Rebecca De Mornay (Risky Business) toplined the film as the homicidal nanny.

At the helm of the remake are director Michelle Garza Cervera (Huesera) and screenwriter Micah Bloomberg (“Homecoming”). Monroe, hot on the heels of sleeper hit Longlegs, stars in the role made famous by De Mornay.

Winstead, who is coming off the Disney+ Star Wars series “Ahsoka,” playing a delightfully bootylicious version of Twi’lek General Hera Syndulla, made her horror film debut in 2005’s The Ring 2. Notable projects include Final Destination 3, Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, the underrated remakes Black Christmas (2006) and The Thing, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Birds of Prey.

Winstead is featured in not one, but two esteemed Clatto lists: The 20 Hottest Women Working In Horror and The Top 10 Babes of Fourth of July Horror.
