Kate Beckinsale in talks for `Eliza Graves`

Los Angeles: Actress Kate Beckinsale is in negotiations to star in `Eliza Graves`, a psychological thriller.

Brad Anderson, who directed `The Call`, is directing the movie, which is loosely based on one of Edgar Allan Poe`s early works `The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether`, said the Hollywood Reporter. Beckinsale, 39, will play the title character of Eliza, a patient at a mental institution in which the inmates have taken over and are posing as doctors. She becomes the object of affection of a newly arrived Harvard Medical School grad who has no idea of the topsy-turvy world he just entered. PTI
