MUMBAI: Rebecca De Mornay has been cast in the title role Mother‘s Day, a Darren Lynn Bousman‘s remake of Charles Kaufman‘s 1980 cult classic.

The actresses casting is the final piece of the puzzle for the film which begins shooting this month.

The original Mother‘s Day revolved around three female friends who, while camping, run afoul of two brothers who engage in murder and rape to impress their deranged mother.

The new version, written by Scott Milam, has been remolded to look as a psychological thriller in which the wicked family returns to the house where they grew up to terrorize the new owners and their guests.

De Mornay‘s role in the film echoes the evil nanny role she had in 1992‘s The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
