Mortenson and Cronenberg Teaming Up Again

Viggo Mortenson and David Cronenberg are teaming up again for their third film, in what should be expected to garner some award consideration two years from now.  Both Mortenson and Cronenberg are among the most underrated professionals in the business.  Their previous two collaborations A History of Violence and Eastern Promises were among the best films of the past decade.  The two are teaming up again in The Talking Cure, based on a play about the relationship between Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.  Mortenson is set to play Freud with Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds, Hunger) playing Jung.  Given the talent involved this is sure to be a highly anticipated film of 2011 or whenever it is released.  Given that Mortenson is portraying such a high profile figure of the early 20th century, Mortenson is sure to get some award attention, if everything falls into place Mortenson can find it his year to win some serious awards.  Here's hoping to the best for this film -- link below to the news story
