Kirsten Dunst will star in and produce the supernatural thriller A Jealous Ghost, a story about a woman studying in London who begins dating one of her professors, after which she begins seeing demons, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The film is based on a book by author A. N. Wilson, but is expected to deviate from the book with the adaptation consciously dropping some characters and plot points in favor of some created specifically for the film.
Dunst was reportedly interested in starring in a supernatural suspenseful film like The Shining or Repulsion, probably after seeing how films like that have kept Sarah Michelle Gellar in business, most likely thinking about life AFTER Spider-Man.
Considering that the last thriller she starred in was Interview With a Vampire, which launched her career (and rightfully so), I'd say it's about time she went back to her "roots."
The only thing is, with that plot synopsis and the title of the book/movie, don't we already know everything we need to know about the film? It's a bit like calling The Shining "Haunted Hotel," isn't it?
