With ghosts stories flexing their box office muscles for the last few years, you’re going to be seeing many big stars getting haunted on the big screen. Speaking of which …
According to Deadline, Tom Felton is in negotiations to star opposite Elizabeth Olsen (pictured right) and Glenn Close in Therese Raquin. Written and set to be helmed by acclaimed theater director Charlie Stratton, the film’s being produced by William Horberg and Mickey Liddell.
Close is attached for the role of Madame Raquin and Olsen for Therese, who, with her lover Laurent, murders her husband (Felton), a sick boy that Madame Raquin forced Therese to marry. After Therese later marries her true love, the couple is haunted by the ghost of the dead husband, and it poisons their love into all-consuming hatred.
If the title sounds familiar, it’s because Therese Raquin has been around since 1867. It was first a novel and then a play by French writer Émile Zola with numerous adaptations over the years; even the 2009 Korean horror film Thirst borrowed a number of plot elements.
