Filming of Tell-Tale, a modern, loosely-based take on Edgar Allan Poe’s classic "The Tell-Tale Heart," was under way today in Providence.

Filming is expected in Burrillville and Providence, with such locations as the Zambarano Hospital in Burrillville and the Fogarty Judicial Complex in Providence. The filmmakers are scheduled to be in the state through April.

Josh Lucas and Lena Headey are starring.

Lucas, star of the movies Stealth and Poseidon, will play a single father whose transplanted heart leads him to search for the donor’s murderer before a similar fate befalls him.

Headey is a British actress who has the title role in the Fox TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and has appeared in the films The Brothers Grimm and 300.

Tell-Tale is being produced by Poe Boy Productions, an arm of the company headed up by director brothers Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Gladiator, American Gangster) and Tony Scott (Top Gun, Crimson Tide).

Directing is Michael Cuesta, who has directed independent films and episodes of the TV series Dexter and Six Feet Under.
