According to the Hollywood Reporter, Murphy is currently in talks to star in the film adaptation of the novel by D.M. Thomas. Simon Monjack will be directing the project.
The story centers on an opera singer who seeks out the services of Sigmund Freud. 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.
Filming for The White Hotel is set to begin in the spring in Vienna and Prague.
