Josh Lucas (Sweet Home Alabama, The Hulk) will star in Scott Free Prods.’ Edgar Allen Poe-inspired psychological drama Tell-Tale, which is being directed by Michael Cuesta.

The project puts a contemporary spin on Poe’s story The Tell-Tale Heart, with Lucas starring as a single father whose recently transplanted heart leads him on a desperate search to find the donor’s killer before a similar fate befalls him.

Scott Free’s Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, and Michael Costigan are producing with Social Capital Films’ Martin Shore and Christopher Tuffin.

Lucas recently wrapped production on Death in Love and Boy in the Box, the latter of which also was produced through his new production company, Two Bridges.

He’s hot, but what the crap is up with that tattoo?
