FilmNation Launching Sales on ‘The Good Nurse’

Variety announced the news that FilmNation will launch international sales
on 'The Good Nurse', set to star Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne,
at the European Film Market (EFM)


I listened to the audiobook of Charles Graeber’s novel in 2018 after I first
read about the project in a Deadline article and I’m so excited. This is a
very interesting story and I’m sure Eddie will be phenomenal in the role. 
A significant part of the plot takes place in 2003 when Charles Cullen
was captured. Eddie plays the nurse who is regarded as one of the
most prolific serial killers in history, now called “Angel of Death”. 
Finally not a period piece, a contemporary villainy role for Eddie.
A complicated character, a challenging role that shows his range.

Will we have two movie premieres in 2021? I hope so.

Update - great news:
DEADLINE reported: “In one of the biggest sales deals to come together
at any EFM, we understand Netflix is nearing a world rights pre-buy
in the region (Europe) of $25M for The Good Nurse...
Additional casting is in the works with shoot being lined up for this year. ”



The movie tells the true story of the pursuit and capture of Cullen. Jessica
Chastain plays his co-worker nurse who helped the detectives to stop him.
