Recently it was confirmed that David Cronenberg’s next movie would be an adaptation of the play The Talking Cure and would star Michael Fassbender (Hunger, Inglourious Basterds), Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) and Keira Knightely. Movieline spoke to Fassbender and while nothing majorly new is revealed, it seems the film is going into production in just a short few months in Berlin. That would make it Cronenberg’s second time shooting outside of Canada, with the first being on Eastern Promises.
Anyway, here’s what Fassbender had to say when asked about the project:
[...] I’m super excited myself. I met Mr. Cronenberg up in Toronto about three, four months ago and he’s an absolute gentleman. Obviously, I’m a massive fan of his work. Basically, it’s the story surrounding Freud and Jung and one mutual patient of theirs called Sabina — it’s a triangle between those three characters. I’m very excited to do that and I’ll be shooting in Berlin, where I shot Inglourious. Of course, Christoph is an absolute gentleman and a phenomenal talent as well, and Keira Knightley, she’s not too shabby either! [Laughs] Before that, I’m going to be working with Cary Fukunaga on Jane Eyre, I’m also very excited about that.
