Emma Watson and Ethan Hawke have signed on for Alejandro Amenábar’s Regression, per press release today from the Weinstein Company. The film, whose storyline is currently being kept under wraps, is based on an original screenplay from the Chilean-born multi-hyphenate, and will mark a return for Amenábar to the thriller genre, where he previously had great success with the Nicole Kidman-starring The Others, which grossed over $200 million worldwide.
“I am passionate about Alejandro and his work, and am so happy to be collaborating with him,” said Watson in the statement. “I’m really excited by the challenge my character presents to me as an actress… I can’t wait to begin.” The film will shoot later this year, and be released by the Weinstein Company-Dimension in 2015.
