His latest film, the Halle Berry-starring The Call, is a breathlessly paced ride racing into theaters Friday, March 15th; and hell be back behind the camera soon for Eliza Graves, an adaptation written by Joseph Gangemi (Fear Itself) of Edgar Allan Poes short “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.”
We caught up with Anderson last week to ask him about the film.
Heres what he had to tell us: Eliza Graves is a movie that were setting up now thats based on an Edgar Allan Poe short story, about an asylum at the turn of the century. Its a very cool, patients-have-taken-over-the-asylum story. Were kind of the in the process of casting that and getting it off the ground. Ive always wanted to do a darker period type story, and I love Poes stories. So this is a good combination.
A synopsis released last fall described the film like this: A young doctor comes to apprentice at a mental institution and meets a beautiful patient that he falls in love with amidst a set of circumstances, which may be more complicated than they seem.
