Who’s playing who in the remake?
ShockTillYouDrop.com has just been handed the official plot crunch – including character details – for Mother’s Day.
The remake is currently lensing in Winnipeg, Canada with director Darren Lynn Bousman at the helm. Read on!
In this highly-anticipated psychological horror thriller from renowned director Darren Lynn Bousman (SAW II, III, and IV) and producer Brett Ratner, two mothers (Rebecca De Mornay and Jaime King) will give the holiday terrifying new meaning as they battle to protect what is dearest to them.
After a bank robbery gone wrong, three brothers head for home, hoping their MOTHER (Rebecca De Mornay) can provide them with a getaway. The youngest brother, JOHNNY (Matt O’Leary), has been shot and their back-stabbing former partner has gotten away with all the cash.
But when the brothers get home, they find that all their stuff is gone and Mother is nowhere to be found: she lost the house months ago in a foreclosure. The new owners, BETH and DANIEL SOHAPI (Jaime King and Frank Grillo) and their guests, gathered for an ill-timed birthday party, become the brothers’ unwitting hostages.
Not long after, Mother arrives, along with the boys’ sister LYDIA (Deborah Ann Woll), and it soon becomes clear that Mother will do absolutely anything to protect her children. In one terrifying evening, she brilliantly takes control of the situation and masterminds her sons’ escape from the law.
Sides will be taken, secrets revealed, and sins punished as the hostages struggle to make it through the night alive.
With an iconic new villainess, non-stop action, and suspense that builds to a truly chilling twist, MOTHER’S DAY is sure to become the next big holiday-themed genre franchise.
Definitely doesn’t sound like the ’80s Mother’s Day cult classic we grew up with. Sounds interesting, nonetheless!
