The former Sparta queen has joined TELL-TALE, the contemporized version of Edgar Allen Poe’s macabre short story “The Tell-Tale Heart”. The movie, from director Michael Cuesta (DEXTER, SIX FEET UNDER), stars Josh Lucas as a heart transplant recipient compelled by his new organ to seek revenge on the donor’s killer. Brian Cox is a crusty cop on the confounding case.
The movie comes from Tony and Ridley Scott’s production company Scott Free, with a script that has been intriguingly described as “JACOB’S LADDER meets MARATHON MAN.” Headey will also appear with Sean Bean in the supernatural medieval horror flick BLACK DEATH.
