Eddie Redmayne stars alongside Jessica Chastain in the upcoming Netflix-distributed film. “The Good Nurse” will world premiere at TIFF next Monday, I already have my ticket for that one. And don’t let the title mislead you, this is the story of real-life criminal Charlie Cullen (Eddie Redmayne), the “good” nurse of the title. Cullen, was known as the “Angel of Death,” and regarded as one of the most prolific serial killers in history. He was allegedly responsible for the deaths of almost 300 of his patients over a 15-year time span. Jessica Chastain plays Cullen’s co-worker at the hospital, and fellow nurse who started to suspect Cullen’s nefarious ways. Director Lindholm is making his English-language debut with the film. Lindholm is the filmmaker behind the Oscar-nominated 2015 film “A War.” He also helmed 2012’s underrated “A Hijacking.” The script was written by Krysty Wilson-Cairns, who was nominated for an Oscar for her screenplay on “1917.” This is one of the very few TIFF world premieres with the, albeit slight, potential to crash the Oscar race. The others being “The Fabelmans,” “The Greatest Beer Run Ever,” and “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.” Contribute Hire me
