The 24-year-old will join Christopher Waltz and Michael Fassbender (both starred in one of 2009′s best films, Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds) in a drama based on Christopher Hampton’s stage play.

The Talking Cure will center on Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, the founders of psychoanalysis, and their relationship with patient Sabina Spielrein.

Knightley is currently starring in the London play The Misanthrope. The Pride & Prejudice actress is familiar with Hampton’s work, having starred in Hampton’s other work, Atonement.
