First Look at Rachel Weisz's Series Adaptation of David Cronenberg's DEAD RINGERS
Amazon Studios has shared a few first-look photos for Prime Video’s upcoming series adaptation of David Cronenberg’s 1988 psychological thriller, Dead Ringers. The series stars Rachel Weisz who is playing the dual roles of twins Elliot and Beverly Mantle.
The twins share everything: “Drugs, lovers, and an unapologetic desire to do whatever it takes — including pushing the boundaries on medical ethics — in an effort to challenge antiquated practices and bring women's health care to the forefront.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve watched Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers, it’s a movie that I should probably revisit before this series is released. I’m a huge fan of Weisz, though, and I’m looking forward to seeing her in this series.
The series' ensemble cast includes Britne Oldford (The Umbrella Academy, American Horror Story: Asylum) as Genevieve, Poppy Liu (Hacks, iCarly) as Greta, Michael Chernus (Severance, Orange is the New Black) as Tom, Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark Thirty, Saint Maud) as Rebecca, and Emily Meade (The Deuce, The Leftovers) as Susan.
The directors on the show include Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene, The Nest, The Iron Claw), Karyn Kusama (Jennifer's Body, Girlfight), Karena Evans (P-Valley, Snowfall), and Lauren Wolkstein (A Friend of the Family, Y: The Last Man).
Dead Ringers premieres on Prime Video on April 21st.
