Harrison Ford and Zac Efron are in negotiations to topline the psychological thriller You Belong to Me, which will mark a return to the thriller genre for Rob Reiner.
Ford would portray a psychiatrist struggling with the recent suicide of one of his female patients. He bonds with her brother James (Efron), but learns to regret that bond when he lets James into his life and James begins seducing his wife and daughter.
David Murray provides the script, which is described along the lines of Cape Fear.
You Belong to Me will be shopped to buyers at the annual American Film Market in Santa Monica next week.
The project is currently under way, with the start of production targeted for a March 2013.
As Reiner last foray into thriller territory being the 1990 adaptation of Stephen King's Misery, he previously commented on that fact by saying:
They are hard to make well, but this one has a deep psychological bent to it and a big twist in the end that I didn't see coming. That's why I decided to take a whack at this one.Efron will next appear in At Any Price, while Ford has been attached to several anticipated movies including Ender's Game, 42 and Paranoia. Well, check out the trailer for Martin Scorsese's 1991film starring Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte and Jessica Lange, which used as a reference for upcoming feature.
