Rachel Weisz to play Elizabeth Taylor in A Special Relationship

November 1, 2019 by Gary Collinson

Deadline is reporting that Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardner, The Favourite) is set to take on the role of screen legend Elizabeth Taylor in the biographical drama A Special Relationship.

Directed by Bert & Bertie (Troop Zero) from a script by Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire), the film is set to chronicle “Taylor’s journey from actress to activist through the lens of her friendship with her assistant Roger Wall, a gay man who grew up in poverty in the Deep South.”

Previous actresses to portray Elizabeth Taylor on screen include Helena Bonham-Carter, Sherilyn Fenn and Lindsay Lohan.

A Special Relationship is being produced by Iain Canning and Emile Sherman (The King’s Speech) for See-Saw Films.
