The film is loosely based on one of Edgar Allan Poe’s early works, an 1845 short story titled “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.”
Sturgess will star as a Harvard Medical School grad who takes a job a mental institution where the inmates have taken over and are posing as doctors. He becomes obsessed with the title character (Beckinsale), one of the patients. Yeah, him and everyone else!
