Oscar winners Angelina Jolie and Christoph Waltz are in discussions to star in STX Films' upcoming feature, Every Note Played.

According to Deadline, the drama film is an official adaptation of author Lisa Genova's 2018 novel of the same name. The story is about a world-renowned concert pianist and composer on the verge of creating his magnum opus. When he receives a life-changing diagnosis, his estranged ex-wife takes up the cross of caring for him, and he is forced to balance reconciling his failed relationships with redefining his pursuit of greatness.

Every Note Played will be directed by Michael Sucsy, who previously helmed films such as The Vow and Every Day.

Monet Clayton, Richard Barton Lewis, and Gabrielle Jerou will produce the project.
