Hulu has released a brand new behind the scenes featurette with Mary, Maika and director Michelle Garza Cervera for their upcoming film, ‘The Hand That Rocks the Cradle’ which will premiere on the streaming service later this month on October 22nd. I have added screencaps of Mary’s appearance into the gallery. You can watch the video below.
After much waiting, Hulu FINALLY released the trailer for Mary’s new film The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and it looks SO good!! Also starring Maika Monroe, the movie follows the story of a mom (Mary) who brings in a new nanny (Maika) into her home only to discover she isn’t who she claims to be.
You can view the trailer below & I’ve also added screen caps from the trailer as well as new stills and updated the previous photos without the tags and a new behind the scenes photo. Enjoy!
Can’t wait to see the film. It already looks sooooooo different from the 1992 version.
After muuuuch anticipation, People has finally released the first photos of Mary in director Michelle Garza Cervera’s The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Though the movie is a remake of the 1992 film, which starred Annabella Sciorra and Matt McCoy as the couple and Rebecca De Mornay as the nanny, this update is no carbon copy, promises director Michelle Garza Cervera, who teases plenty of “shocking moments.”
The film will release on Hulu October 22nd & you can view all the photos of Mary Elizabeth as her character Caitlin in the gallery.
Garza Cervera also says the film will take place in Los Angeles instead of Seattle like the original film did and give the characters “more complex backstories”. “Instead of having just a victim and a perpetrator, they’re both in gray areas,” she says of Polly and Caitlin. “I love the kind of antagonists that you can, on a point, empathize with. So there’s a very interesting game, like yin and yang that happens between them.”
Garza Cervera says Monroe, a scream queen known for horror films like It Follows and Longlegs, was the perfect person to play Polly: “She brings a very evil, contained tone to the film that I’m super proud of.” Winstead, also no stranger to thrillers thanks to her turns in Final Destination 3 and 10 Cloverfield Lane, “is the kind of actress that can completely transform for a role,” adds Garza Cervera.
The filmmaker says the two leads share a chemistry that gives their characters a multilayered dynamic: “It’s very interesting to see, because in a moment you even feel like they could be attracted to each other.”
Some new updates for everyone with Rich Flu! First, I have added some new posters that recently came out with Mary including a new character poster. I have added them into the gallery.

Lastly, Rich Flu director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia gave a new interview leading up to this Friday’s (Spain) premiere, and this is what he had to say about working with Mary on the film:
“I must be the luckiest director in the world, because all the actors and actresses I’ve worked with have been truly wonderful. Working with Mary Elizabeth Winstead has been an honour. She’s an excellent actress and she shows enormous commitment to any character she plays. And not just to the character, but to the film as well.
I have updated the gallery with some new/old stills of Mary in one of her previous films titled ‘Faults‘. The movie follows a cult deprogrammer who is hired to help a couple whose daughter is under the influence of a mysterious cult. It also stars Leland Orser, Lance Reddick and Beth Grant.
Mary was seen filming her latest film ‘The Hand that Rocks the Cradle’ in Los Angeles yesterday and I’ve added the behind the scenes photos into the gallery. The film is a remake of the 1992 movie by the same name. Mary will play Claire Bartel in the upcoming thriller.
The original film starred Rebecca De Mornay and Annabella Sciorra and follows a woman, played by De Mornay, who after her sex-offender husband gets caught in the act and kills himself, embarks on a mission of vengeance against one of her husband’s victims and the woman’s family. Maika Monroe will step into the role made famous by De Mornay, while Winstead will play the role originated by Sciorra.
It’s a great day to get your fix of the latest Mary news! First up, over the weekend, Mary and Ewan attended a special screening of A24’s newest film Babygirl which stars Nicole Kidman. They were there to support Ewan’s daughter Esther McGregor who also has a role in the film as Kidman’s daughter. In the new photos, you can clearly see that Mary has dyed her hair blonde for her upcoming film The Hand that Rocks the Cradle! You can check out the new pics in the gallery.
And speaking of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, it was reported earlier today that Smile 2‘s Raúl Castillo has joined the film in a supporting role as the architect husband of Winstead’s character, portrayed in the original 1992 film by Annabella Sciorra. 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 — originally portrayed by Rebecca De Mornay, and now by Monroe. Directed by Curtis Hanson, the original watches as 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.
After new stills and plot details were released about Mary’s upcoming film ‘Rich Flu’, a trailer came out earlier this week and you can watch it below. As of now, the release date overseas is scheduled for January 25th. If any new release dates are announced, I will be sure to let everyone know. 🙂
Good morning, everyone! Some brand new stills of Mary in her upcoming film Rich Flu have been released as well as some new plot details.
Tidbits about the synopsis is as follows (with translation):
A new virus breaks out and wipes out the richest and most influential people in the world. Just when Laura (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is on the verge of realizing all her dreams of social success. The executive of an up-and-coming streaming platform is accepted into the most elite circles thanks to a surprise promotion, can send her daughter Anna (Dixie Egerickx) to the most exclusive schools and no longer has to worry about finances. But the virus is cutting ever wider swathes through Western society: economic empires are faltering, the stock market collapses and widespread chaos breaks out. As all the rich try to get to safety from the metropolises, Laura also flees Europe along with her daughter, her husband (Rafe Spall) and her mother (Lorraine Bracco) on a highly risky route. But can the virus ever be far enough away?
Hopefully this means with new photos released, a trailer isn’t too far behind.
As the headline states, Mary is currently in talks to join It Follows and Longlegs actress Maika Monroe in a remake of the 1992 thriller The Hand That Rocks the Cradle for 20th Century Fox.
According to Deadline, Michelle Garza Cervera will direct the pic, with Micah Bloomberg penning the script.
In the original film directed by Curtis Hanson, the ’92 film starred Rebecca de Mornay as a pregnant woman who is married to a sex offender; her husband eventually gets caught and kills himself after other victims come forward. This leads de Mornay’s character having a miscarriage, and she looks to exact revenge against one of her husband’s assault victims (Annabella Sciorra) and her family, leading to a bloody conflict between the two women. While the plot points for the new film remain hidden, the casting will see Winstead portray the part of the assault victim while Monroe will take over as the sex offender’s widow.
Mary was last seen opposite her husband Ewan McGregor in the Paramount+ series ‘A Gentleman in Moscow‘ and starring in Disney+’s Ahsoka series opposite Rosario Dawson.
What do you guys think of the news? I’m personally excited Mary is getting back into the horror/thriller genre! If you’re also curious, you can view the trailer for the original film below:
