Maika Monroe (Longlegs, It Follows) has signed on to replace Margaret Qualley in Victorian Psycho, according to a report on Deadline. Qualley left the project in March, just days before it was set to begin production.
With Monroe now officially signed to topline, Director Zachary Wigon said: “Maika’s intense screen presence has resonated with me over and over again throughout her history of complex performances. I’m absolutely thrilled for her to bring her unique style of psychological portraiture to the fascinatingly bizarre Winifred Notty.”
Wigon will direct the film which is based on the novel of the same name by Virginia Feito. The official synopsis of the film reads: “In 1858, a young, eccentric governess named Winifred Notty (Monroe) arrives at the remote gothic manor known as Ensor House. Winifred’s responsibilities include teaching the children table manners and educating them about their family’s history, all whilst hiding her psychopathic tendencies. As Winifred assimilates into life at Ensor House, staff members begin to inexplicably disappear, and the owners of the estate begin to wonder if there is something amiss about their new governess.”
