Brittany Murphy for The White Hotel
Brittany Murphy is in negotiations to star in The White Hotel, the long awaited adaptation of the D.M. Thomas novel. Simon Monjack will direct the movie from his own script who, last we heard, also had help from writer-producer Susan Stewart Potter.
The White Hotel centers on an opera singer (Murphy) who seeks out the services of Sigmund Freud in post-World War I Vienna. Haunted by hallucinatory dreams about a white hotel, she becomes Freud's famous case study Anna G. Together, they unlock the key to figuring out her memories and her premonitions of the future, which include the Holocaust.
Through the novel's long journey to the screen, directors such as Bernardo Bertolucci, David Lynch, Hector Babenco, Terrence Malick, Pedro Almodovar, David Cronenberg and Emir Kusturica have showed interest.
Due to rights disputes between producers, the film has entered and exited production on an earlier occasion.
Though the film originally had a production start set for last October, it is now told that a spring shoot in Vienna and Prague is being eyed.
Stay tuned for updates.
