Back in November we reported that Harry Potter director David Yates had found a “really great” script for Emma Watson. Then a month later it was revealed that Yates had signed on to direct an adaptation of Your Voice in My Head.

Now Deadline is reporting that Warner Bros. is in negotiations to purchase the rights, and Yates is in serious talks with Watson to reunite for the project. More info after the jump.

As Deadline reports:

Yates is in discussions with Emma Watson to star in the role of a young woman who attempts suicide before being saved by a New York-based psychiatrist who’s dying of cancer.

Your Voice in my Head, based on the memoir by Emma Forrest, is said to be a high priority for Warner Bros., with high-profile names such as Tom Hanks and George Clooney being discussed for the male lead in the film.

What do you think of Yates and Watson reuniting so soon after Potter? Does this seem like a suitable project for the two?
