James Franco is to star opposite Winona Ryder in the thriller The Stare, to be helmed by Jay Anania reports Deadline.com

Ryder will star as a playwright struggling to launch her next production who is plagued by dreams and visions of being watched. She soon can't decide if she's at the centre of a manipulative plot or simply losing her grip on reality. Franco will produce the film and play one of the performers in her next play.

This one is shooting in New York which will I'm sure draw further parallels with Black Swan.
