Viggo Mortensen Signs Up For Cronenberg Drama

Following the Oscar festivities last weekend, a garlanded Christoph Waltz has reportedly dropped out of David Cronenberg's The Talking Cure and will be replaced by Cronenberg's regular go-to Viggo Mortensen.

The Talking Cure is a drama about the relationships between Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and their patient Sabrina Spielrein, with whom both ground-breaking psychoanalysts have had a relationship. Spielrein, played by Keira Knightley, is a disturbed young woman brought in by her father to see Jung, played by Michael Fassbender, and the two have a passionate affair amid dramatic fireworks between the two competitive Viennese psychologists.

Christoph Waltz had to leave The Talking Cure to act in Francis Lawrence's depression-era circus romance, Water For Elephants. Cronenberg's drama is expected to begin a ten-week shoot in mid-May, which clashes with Water For Elephants' shoot.
