JULIANNE MOORE DUMPS GERE AND SET FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER

Double Oscar nominee and Hannibal hunter Julianne Moore is going back two more commercial fare following her two nominated arty flicks.

The actress has signed on to star in the supernatural thriller 'The Forgotten', with Joseph Ruben ('Return to Paradise') set to direct.

Moore will play Telly Paretta, a grieving mother struggling to cope with the loss of her 8-year-old son. She is stunned when her psychiatrist tells her that she has created eight years of memories of a son she never had. But when she meets a fellow patient who has a similar experience, Telly embarks on a mission to prove her son's existence and her sanity.

The Revolution Studios picture, which starts shooting before the end of the year, was written by Gerald DiPego ('Angel Eyes', 'Phenomenon'). Columbia Pictures will distribute 'The Forgotten' next year.

Moore, Oscar-nominated for her performances in 'Far From Heaven' and 'The Hours', will shoot the Michael Caton-Jones-directed romantic comedy 'Laws of Attraction' opposite Pierce Brosnan in July before making 'The Forgotten'.

She was supposed to film the Richard Gere thriller 'Without Apparent Motive' before that but the Splendid Pictures project, which was to have been helmed by Bille August , fell apart due to a lack of financing.

Ruben's credits include 'Sleeping with the Enemy', 'Money Train' and 'The Good Son'.
