First Look: Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender in David Cronenberg’s ‘A Dangerous Method’

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the first footage from A Dangerous Method, the new film from David Cronenberg in which Viggo Mortensen plays Sigmund Freud and Michael Fassbender appears as Carl Jung.

David Cronenberg’s ‘The Talking Cure’ Now Called ‘A Dangerous Method’

Posted on Tuesday, April 13th, 2010 by Russ Fischer

Briefly: Despite the fact that he lost Christoph Waltz, I’m seriously interested in David Cronenberg‘s new film, which is now called A Dangerous Method. Production Weekly reports the title change for the film, which is based on Christopher Hampton‘s play The Talking Cure. Filming starts next month and will take place in Berlin, Vienna and Zurich.

The cast remains great, even without Waltz: Michael Fassbender plays Carl Jung, Viggo Mortensen replaced Waltz as Sigmund Freud, and Keira Knightley is Sabina Spielrein, the patient seen by both men. Vincent Cassel also appears. I’d love to see this make the Toronto Film Fest, but that’s probably over-optimistic. Look for the film in 2011, most likely.
