The inimitable David Cronenberg is directing a new film about Sigmund
Freud and Carl Jung. Based on Christopher Hampton's stage play "The
Talking Cure," the story revolves around a patient named Sabina.
Titled "A Dangerous Method," the film, starring Viggo Mortensen as
Freud, Michael Fassbender as Jung, and Keira Knightley as Sabine, is
due out next year. From AceShowbiz:
Detailing Knightley's character, director David Cronenberg recently
said, "Really [Sabina] was a passionate, intelligent, very creative
woman who didn't have an outlet for those things so it manifested
itself as madness until she met Carl Jung. She was 18, he was about
29. They had an affair, she become his mistress." He concluded, "So
it's the story of the three of them particularly and it's a really
fascinating story."
