Those who did venture out to see the Tom Cruise Nazi epic Valkyrie (you know, the one in which nobody had a German accent) will most likely know the name Carice van Houten. If you don’t, you and everyone else will be getting to know her quickly because she just signed on for Chris Smith’s British horror film Black Death.

The Hollywood Blog reports today that van Houten will be replacing the previously announced Famke Janssen, who had taken over the role from Lena Headey. 

Also starring Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, John Lynch, Tim McInnerny, and Johnny Harris, Black Death tells the story of a young monk who investigates a series of rumors of people brought back to life after suffering the effects of the Bubonic plague.
