Variety is reporting that Ryan Reynolds is set to produce the supernatural horror The Patient Who Nearly Drove Me Out of Medicine for 20th Century Fox and New Regency.
An adaptation of Jasper DeWitt’s novella, which was originally published on Reddit No Sleep, the film will follow idealistic young doctor who tries to solve a mystery and heal its most difficult patient.
