‘s Martin Starr is set to appear in the upcoming remake of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
The original 1992 thriller starred Rebecca De Mornay as Mrs Mott, a grief-stricken widow whose husband was accused of sexual assault. After losing her own baby, Mrs Mott pretends to be a nanny for one of her husband’s accusers (Annabella Sciorra), with the aim of seeking revenge on the family.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the remake will feature Maika Monroe (as the nanny), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (as the mother) and Raúl Castillo (as the husband). Starr will appear as the family’s neighbour who helps the concerned mother.
Directed by Michelle Garza Cervera, production for the movie is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles later this month.
Starr is known for his role as Mr Harrington in the Tom Holland-led Spider-Man franchise. He recently played the lead role in Magnus Martens’ There’s Something in the Barn.
The horror movie follows an American family investigating their roots, after inheriting a remote cabin in the Scandinavian mountains. They are horrified to discover evil elves awaiting them.
Meanwhile, Monroe is also no stranger to the horror genre, after starring in the blockbuster Longlegs opposite Nicolas Cage. Monroe plays FBI agent Lee Harker, who tries to hunt down the satanic serial killer Longlegs (Cage) after a decades-long murder spree.
The actor told Digital Spy about the “visceral reaction” she had when seeing the titular character for the first time.
“People often ask if it’s scary being on a horror movie set. No, of course, it is not at all, but I feel very lucky to have had this particular experience because – of course, there were nerves – there was a visceral reaction that I had to seeing him for the first time,” said Monroe.
“It was quite cool that we got to capture that on camera. It was an experience I will never forget for sure.”
