Michelle Garza Cervera will direct the reboot. Her most notable work is the 2022 body horror movie Huesera.
Monroe is forging her acting career by being acknowledged mainly in horror movies and thrillers. She was first recognized in David Robert Mitchell’s 2014 STD horror film It Follows, then the graphic slasher Watchers in 2022.
