'The Hand That Rocks the Cradle' Remake: Ahsoka Star Joins the Cast
The 1992 thriller "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" is getting a modern makeover, and it's already attracting some serious star power. Rosario Dawson, known for her role as the beloved Jedi warrior Ahsoka Tano in the "Star Wars" universe, has joined the cast.
This isn't the first time Dawson's taken on a role in a remake. She starred in the 2019 "The New Mutants" reboot, though it wasn't exactly the critical success everyone hoped for. This time, though, the project has an intriguing premise and a solid foundation. The original film, starring Rebecca De Mornay, was a box office hit and cemented itself as a modern classic in the horror genre.
The remake will see Dawson step into the shoes of Marlene, a young woman seeking a new start in a quiet suburban town. However, she soon finds herself entangled in a sinister web of secrets and danger as she becomes entangled with Claire, a wealthy and manipulative woman with a dark secret.
The film is being helmed by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick, known for his work on "Aquaman" and "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It". While the details of the plot are being kept under wraps, we can expect a fresh take on the original story, with the added benefit of Dawson's captivating performance.
The casting of Dawson is sure to attract a lot of attention, and it will be interesting to see how she brings a new dimension to the role of Marlene. Whether she can replicate the chills and thrills of the original film remains to be seen, but the remake of "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" is shaping up to be a captivating and suspenseful watch.
