Heigl Takes On Face Blind & The Happytime Murders

Katherine Heigl is set to star in the Dominic Harari and Teresa De Pelegri-scripted indie thriller "Face Blind" says Deadline.


In the pic Kathy will play a psychologist struck with a rare affliction that makes it impossible to distinguish people by their faces. When a man who terrorized her most vulnerable patient stalks her, the psychologist can’t recognize him, and her husband thinks she’s the one who is going crazy.

Heigl Trudie Styler and Celine Rattray are producing the pic.

If the premise sounds familiar, it's nearly the same as that of last year's direct-to-disc Milla Jovovich led thriller "Faces in the Crowd".

Also today Heigl is is in final negotiations to join the noir puppet comedy "The Happytime Murders" reports Variety.

The story is set in a world where puppets and humans live together, but the puppets are viewed as second-class citizens.When the puppet cast of an 1980s kids TV show gets murdered one by one, a disgraced detective-turned-private eye puppet takes on the case.

Brian Henson directs from a script by Todd Berger ("Kung Fu Panda 2") based on a story by Dee Austin Robertson.
