Cullen was a nurse and serial killer, having been implicated in the deaths of up to 300 patients over 16 years. He operated across nine different hospitals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.  

Meanwhile Jessica Chastain plays a nurse who worked alongside Cullen and risked her life to help bring him to justice.

After his crimes were exposed, Cullen was arrested in December 2003, charged with one count of murder and one count of attempted murder.

In April 2004 he plead guilty to killing 13 patients, and after agreeing to co-operate with police to avoid facing the death penalty plead guilty to the murder of three more patients, and another six more later that year.

Cullen was eventually sentenced to eleven consecutive life sentences in 2006, and he will not be eligible for parole until 2403.

The Good Nurse will be helmed by director Tobias Lindholm.

The film will also star NFL player turned actor Nnamdi Asomugha, who is set to portray one of the lead police detectives on the case, Danny Baldwin.  

Redmayne most recently starred in The Trial of the Chicago 7, which is up for six Oscars. For his role, Redmayne received a SAG nomination.

Chastain has The Eyes of Tammy Faye due out later this year and The 355 in 2022, while Asomugha starred most recently opposite Tessa Thompson in Amazon romance Sylvie’s Love.

Last month, Jessica stated that she will be receiving the same pay as her costars for the upcoming spy thriller film The 355.

The film will also feature Lupita Nyong’o, Penelope Cruz, and Diane Kruger.
