Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne in Talks to Star in THE GOOD NURSE

Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne currently in negotiations to star in The Good Nurse, a thriller based on the book by Charles Graeber, according to Deadline.

The film will be written by Krysty Wilson-Cairns and Tobias Lindholm is set to make his English-language feature directing debut. BRON Studios, run by Aaron L. Gilbert, has come aboard to finance and will release through Lionsgate. Darren Aronofsky's Protozoa is producing as well.

The Good Nurse tells 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 play Cullen and Chastain will play the nurse who worked alongside Cullen and risked her job and family's safety to stop him.
