Stanley Tucci is in final negotiations to join the Harry Potter duo Emma Watson and David Yates in Your Voice in My Head, Variety is reporting.

Here’s the synopsis:

Based on the memoirs by screenwriter Emma Forrest, the story revolves around a young who, after the demise of her relationship with a nationally respected journalist, attempts suicide before being saved by a terminally ill psychiatrist.

Tucci, who recently starred in The Hunger Games, would play the psychiatrist.

As Variety reports:

The psychiatrist was a prestige role eyed by several actors — including George Clooney — before Yates eventually went to Tucci. Sources say [Warner Bros.] is already eyeing this as a major contender in the 2013 race, especially the best-actor slot.

We previously reported on the film here. What do you think of Watson and Tucci starring opposite each other? Are you as excited for the film as we are?
