Rachel Weisz will be playing the late Oscar winner in a biopic about her life.
Simon Beaufoy, who penned Slumdog Millionaire, has been hired to write the script for A Special Relationship which will focus on Taylor’s life in the mid-1980s, following her film career, in which she turned to activism for HIV/AIDS awareness.
“Audiences are clearly fascinated by the private lives of iconic Hollywood stars. There is no one more iconic than Elizabeth Taylor and Simon Beaufoy has written a role that shines a light on Elizabeth’s humour and humanity which will be beautifully brought to life through the extraordinary talents of Rachel Weisz,” See-Saw Films’ Canning and Sherman said in a statement. “At its heart, A Special Relationship is a story of friendship … a celebration of how friendships can change people’s lives, and how Elizabeth helped change the world.”
Directing duo, Bert & Bertie, who brought us Troop Zero will helm the film.
