Veteran TV director Joseph Sargent is set to helm a remake of the award-winning 1976 telemovie "Sybil" reports Production Weekly.
Based on the Flora Rheta Schreiber best selling novel, the original telefilm told the true story of Dr. Cornelia Wilbur (Joanne Woodward), an experienced psychiatrist faced with one of her most stressful cases ever - a 20-something school teacher (Sally Field) who's violent upbringing resulted in her developing 16 different personalities.
The project is scheduled to begin filming in Nova Scotia later this month.
