Back in December 2024, Maika Monroe (“Longlegs”) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead hopped on-board 20th Century Studios’ remake of “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.” Michelle Garza Cervera (“Huesera: The Bone Woman”) directs from a screenplay by Micah Bloomberg (“The Report”).
The Hot Mic’s Jeff Sneider is now reporting that the project, which only wrapped production in March 2025, is being fast-tracked for a straight-to-streaming Disney+ debut this October. That’s an unusually quick turnaround.
The original 1992 film, directed by the late, great Curtis Hanson, was a deliciously trashy suburban thriller. Rebecca De Mornay played the archetypal “nanny from hell,” a grieving woman who infiltrates a family under the guise of childcare, with plans to steal both the kids and the husband.
Hanson’s film was never meant to be profound — it was camp, pure and simple, and some audiences lapped it up. Hopefully, Cervera’s remake remake hits that sweet spot — nothing more, nothing less.
So Sylvester Stallone has finally seen “I Play Rocky.”That's news, because up until now we had heard absolutely nothing about how Sly felt about Peter Farrelly's movie on the making of the 1976 classic.
