Variety reports that Liam Neeson is negotiating to star in Serra’s Unknown White Male for Dark Castle. If all goes well, Neeson will play a doctor who goes to Berlin for a medical conference and gets into a car accident. When he awakens from a coma, he discovers that his wife doesn’t recognize him — and she’s living with another man who has assumed his identity.
Joel Silver is producing with Leonard Goldberg. Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell wrote the script, based on the Didier Van Cauwelaert novel Out of My Head.
The plan is for production to begin in January.
