Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds is adapting one of Reddit‘s most terrifying tale, “The Patient Who Nearly Drove Me Out of Medicine” written by Jasper DeWitt who is working with Reynolds and 20th Century on the film.
The story, published two years ago in nine parts, centers on a doctor and psychiatric patient who has spent over twenty years in a hospital without a diagnosis and is known as a man “so intractable that no one bothered to read his file anymore.”
Jeremy Kramer is overseeing the project for Fox, with Natalie Lehmann of New Regency, George Dewey and Patrick Gooing for Maximum Effort, and Vertigo’s Liya Gao. Reynolds will also produce.
At this time no director or cast have been announced, according to Variety.
