According to a new report, Kate Beckinsale is in talks to star in Eliza Graves, an upcoming movie loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether. THR says that Kate Beckinsale is in negotiations to play Eliza, "a Harvard Medical School grad who takes a job at an insane asylum, falling for one of the doctors but then discovering that the occupants have taken it over."

The movie will be directed by Brad Anderson, who previously helmed multiple film and TV projects, including The Call and The Machinist. If negotiations are successful, the movie is expected to begin production this June in Bulgaria. The script was written by Joe Gangemi, and Paranormal Activity's Oren Peli is among the producers involved in the project.
