Brad Anderson has roped two other heavy hitters:
Michael Caine and
Ben Kingsley to the cast of
Eliza Graves, an adaptation of an early
Edgar Allan Poe story titled ‘The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.'
Two great actors previously stared in a hilarious version of
Sherlock Holmes – a 1988 British comedy film, Without A Clue. They'll be joining the
recently announced Jim Sturgess and
Kate Beckinsale in the psychological thriller, which is written by
Joe Gangemi.
Eliza Graves will focus on a Harvard Medical School graduate (Sturgess) who takes a job at an insane asylum, unaware of the fact that it has been taken over by its occupants. He reportedly becomes obsessed with the title character (Beckinsale), one of the patients, and weird complications arise.
Caine and Kingsley would easily play two of the hospital's reputable staff members.
Shooting is expected to start this June in Bulgaria with
Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) among the producers.
Caine will next be seen in the heist flick
Now You See Me, while Kingsley is appearing as The Mandarin in
Iron Man 3 and as Mazer Rackham in the adaptation of
Ender's Game.
