20th Century’s “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle” Remake Adds Raul Castillo (Smile 2).

Coming of of “Smile 2’s” box-office success, Raul Castillo has boarded Michelle Garza Cervera’s “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle” for a supporting role. The film will be a 20th Century Studio’s remake of the classic 1992 psychological thriller. Castillo joins the already announced Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Fargo) and Maika Monroe (Longlegs).

Raul will take over the role of Michael Bartel (originally played by Matt McCoy), the architect husband of Winstead’s character. Claire Bartel is happily married and pregnant for the second time when she becomes the target of a dark plot on the part of a nanny — Peyton Flanders (played by Monroe). The original film was directed by Curtis Hanson, and shows how Peyton infiltrates the lives of the Bartel family after experiencing personal and professional ruin, slowly gaining their trust while manipulating them from within. Her ultimate goal? to destroy Claire and assume her place within her family.

Michelle Garza Cervera will direct the new take from a script by Micah Bloomberg.
