We’ve spoken a few times in the past about The Tell-Tale Heart, the latest movie adaptation of an Edgar Allen Poe short story about a single father whose recently translated heart leads him on a frantic search of his donor’s killer before a similar fate befalls him.

The $20 million movie from Scott Free Productions, will star Josh Lucas as the single father and the news has hit today that the Sarah Connor Chronicles star Lena Headey has signed on for the flick, in an currently unknown role. Possibly a love interest, or wife… I can’t say I know too much about Poe’s classic tale.

The Tell-Tale Heart which will begin filming any day now in Rhode Island, will mark the first feature film from Michael Cuesta, a regular television helmer who is probably best known for his work Six Feet Under.
