Rebecca De Mornay To Play Mommy in 'Mother's Day' Remake

Rebecca De Mornay is getting in touch with her maternal instincts with "Mother's Day," Darren Lynn Bousman's remake of Charles Kaufman's 1980 Troma cult classic.

De Mornay's casting as the title character is the final piece of the puzzle for the movie, which shoot in Winnipeg in September.

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, is being remolded 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. Mother, as the character is called, will to go any length to protect her children.

The part echoes the evil nanny part De Mornay played in 1992's "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, a comparison not lost on the film's makers.

"Every time you look at (Rebecca), she is on fire and to take her to this level, which is like her role in 'Hand That Rocks the Cradle' times a thousand, is exciting," Bousman said. "She is not some Freddy Krueger or Jason, so it was important for me to get a real actress."

The movie also counts Jaime King, Shawn Ashmore, Briana Evigan, Alexa Vega, Matt O'Leary and Deborah Ann Woll among the cast.
