Los Angeles, Jun 10 (PTI) Actress Kate Winslet is apparently in talks to join Idris Elba in new romance-survival drama "The Mountain Between Us."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 40-year-old "Titanic" star is in negotiations over a role in 20th Century Fox's adaptation of Charles Martin's 2010 bestselling novel.
