Rachel Weisz to Play The First Lady in Jackie
Posted 04.15.10 by reelz
Darren Aronofsky will be directing his wife, actress Rachel Weisz, in a movie about Jackie Kennedy, the First Lady of America's Camelot.
Entitled simply Jackie, the new project will be about the immediate days following President Kennedy's assassination in 1963—particularly focusing upon the first lady during four days between the assassination and his burial, "showing the beloved [Jackie] Kennedy at both her most vulnerable and her most graceful."
The script, written by Noah Oppenheim had been shopped around recently by none other than Steven Spielberg, although Entertainment Weekly now reports that "Spielberg is not involved in any way" and that Aronofsky will both direct and produce the film.
