Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne In Talks to Star in Serial Killer Thriller THE GOOD NURSE
Jessica Chastain (Molly's Game) and Eddie Redmayne (Fantastic Beasts) are in negotiations to join a film called The Good Nurse. The film is based on a serial killer book written by Charles Graeber and it's a very dark and twisted story. Have you ever heard of the 'Angel of Death'? Because that's who this movie is about.
The movie will tell the true story of the pursuit and capture of Charlie Cullen, "a nurse who is regarded as one of the most prolific serial killers in history. Now called 'Angel of Death,' Cullen was a married father who was thought to be a responsible caretaker, but his secret compulsion to take life led to his implication in the deaths of as many as 300 patients over 16 years, spread across nine hospitals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania."
Redmayne will take on the role Cullen, who was eventually caught by two former Newark homicide detectives who wouldn’t let go, "aided by a nurse who worked alongside Cullen and risked her job and family’s safety to stop him." Chastain will play the nurse who helped end the killing spree.
This is sure to be an incredible project for both these actors and there's no doubt that they'll end up giving incredible performances while portraying these individuals.
The movie is being produced by Darren Aronofsky and it will be directed by Tobias Lindholm from a script written by Krysty Wilson-Cairns.
