Keira Knightley will lead the cast of David Cronenberg's latest film The Talking Cure, reports The Playlist.

The Brit actress will star alongside Inglourious Basterds pair Christoph Waltz and Michael Fassbender in the drama, which is based on Christopher Hampton's play.

Hampton's story follows Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, the founders of psychoanalysis, and their relationship with patient Sabina Spielrein.

The project will be Cronenberg's first since 2007's gangster drama Eastern Promises. Knightley, currently starring in West End play The Misanthrope, previously starred in the Hampton-scripted war romance Atonement.

With "Nurse Jackie" prepping to unleash a dozen new episodes this March, I was more excited than a MD hopped up on stolen pain pills. Not only was "Jackie" one of the year's most intriguing new series, but the pitch-perfect cast truly set it apart from the countless other ER-set shows that permeated the small screen in 2009. That's why I was so bummed to read that Showtime had dropped Haaz Sleiman from the cast.

He played Jackie's gay BFF “Mo-Mo” and was responsible for some of the first season's funniest and most endearing moments. His relationship with Jackie rivaled her tutelage of Zoe as my favorite element of the series.

But this dark cloud might have a silver lining!

EW.com reports that Alan Ball is searching for an actor to play Lafayette's new love interest on season three of "True Blood" and I think Haaz is the perfect choice! Apparently the only requirements are "a sexy Latino actor in his 30s" and while I'm well aware Haaz is Lebanese, the nationality feels like a minor sticking point.

So, HBO, jump on this incredibly talented man right now before another show snags him and you're left singing the coulda, woulda, shouldas!

I hate, hate, hate that Mo-Mo was fired! I just want him on anything...especially Lafayette!
