''10 days in a Madhouse'' is a 2015 American biographical film about the experiences of undercover journalist Nellie Bly where, as a reporter working for Joseph Pulitzer, she got herself committed to Blackwell's Island Asylum to report on atrocities. The production was written and directed by Timothy Hines with consultation from one of Bly’s modern biographers, Brooke Kroeger. The film draws from Bly’s exposé ''Ten Days in a Mad-House'', which led to significant reforms in the treatment of mental health patients in her time. The cast includes Caroline Barry, Christopher Lambert, Kelly Le Brock, Julia Chantrey and Alexandra Callas.〔 ==Production== Caroline Barry was selected for the starring role of Nellie Bly out of 8000 submissions, only 2 months after moving from Colorado to L.A. to pursue a career in acting. Ms. Barry recounted in a 2015 interview: ”The director said he was looking for Nellie Bly's smile and that optimistic spirit, and he felt my audition was the one that really had that smile and the brightness and optimism." Principal photography took place in Salem, Oregon, a location known for another film that shed light on injustices in the mental health world, ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest''. The physical location was an abandoned mental institution with no electricity, which meant the actors had to perform in 10 degree temperatures, which Barry suggests added to the depth of the film's performances. Other elements of the film were filmed later on sound stages in L.A. adding cast members Christopher Lambert, and Kelly Le Brock. When Kelly Le Brock was cast in the production she had 12 hours to prepare for her role. To accomplish this, she drew from her experiences dealing with mental illness in her past stalkers, as well as previous roles as a nurse to give life to the character. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「10 Days in a Madhouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
