Deadline is reporting that Katherine Heigl is set to star in the independent thriller FACE BLIND, a film that sees (ahem) her playing a character unable to identify people by their face.
She will be a psychologist struck with a rare affliction that makes it impossible to distinguish people by their faces. When a man who terrorized her most vulnerable patient stalks her, the psychologist can’t recognize him, and her husband thinks she’s the one who is going crazy.
Doesn’t seem like a very good disorder for a psychologist to have, but maybe that’s just me.
Also the film sounds very, very similar to FACES IN THE CROWD, the film starring Milla Jovavich with a similar affliction that we covered a bit last year.
