House of Cards actress eyed for Castro victim role

Kate Mara is in talks to play the victim of kidnapper Ariel Castro in a new biopic.

The 'House of Cards' actress - who portrayed journalist Zoe Barnes in the first series of the drama - will play Michelle Knight, who was held prisoner with another two women in Cleveland for over 10 years until May 6, 2013, when one of the women escaped and contacted the police.
