The project from director Steven Bernstein is based on the true story of geneticist Mary Claire King, who discovered a gene linked to breast cancer. Hunt stars as King and Morton plays Annie Parker, a woman who resolves to fight her cancer diagnosis.
Eve will play Louise, a former friend of Parker's who has an affair with her husband, causing them to divorce. "Decoding" also features Aaron Paul, Corey Stoll and Maggie Grace. The project began filming in Los Angeles in October.
Eve's film credits include "Sex and the City 2" and "She's Out of My League"; she will appear in "Men in Black III" and "The Raven." The actress also had a memorable turn on the final season of HBO's "Entourage" as Sophia, the "Vanity Fair" reporter who becomes engaged to Adrian Grenier's Vince.
Media House Capital (Canada) Corp. is co-financing "Decoding" and will produce with Ozymandias Productions. Aaron L. Gilbert, Media House' managing director, will also serve as an executive producer, along with Jonathan Brownlee and Sahil Chanana. The project is being produced by Clark Peterson, Stuart Ross, Keith Kjarval, Mary Vernieu and Ron Senkowski.
Eve is represented by UTA, the U.K.'s Artist Rights Group and Untitled Entertainment.
