Sarah Michelle Gellar is in final negotiations to take over from the departed Kate Bosworth in the indie drama “Veronika Decides to Die” reports Variety.
The story centers on a severely depressed woman who rediscovers her will to live after learning that she has only days left due to the irreparable damage done to her heart as a result of her recent suicide attempt.
Larry Gross and Roberta Hanley adapted the screenplay from Paulo Coelho’s novel, whilst Emily Young (“Kiss of Life”) will direct.
