Written by Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head centres on a young woman (Watson) who attempts suicide before being saved by a New York-based psychiatrist who’s dying of cancer.
It is yet unknown who will play the psychiatrist, but such prolific actors as George Clooney (The Descendants) and Tom Hanks (Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close) are said to be in the mix.
Warner Bros. Pictures acquired the rights late last week, and have made it a top priority.
Expect production on this to start before the end of the year, before Yates moves over to Sony to direct A Reliable Wife.
