Thanks a lot to Roque for the information, Rachel has been chosen as "Most Beautiful Face of 2008" and made the second place. Read below what they write about her.
Hands down, the most beautiful eyes in the world. Rachel never seems to give a bad performance.
It must have been ages since I last updated about the Media Archive but I just can apologize again, my life is pretty busy at the moment. Whatever, I added three new videos of Rachel at the "David Letterman" show. Two videos are form 2006 and I don´t know the date of the third video. If you know it, don´t hesitate and contact me.
BTW. I want to thank the YouTube user iloverachelweisz for always putting up these amazing videos so people can watch it because for example I´m from Germany so I´m not able to watch these appearances. He is also linking to our site which is another reason to send out a little thank you . And now enjoy the video additions.
In Wong Karwai's new film, My Blueberry Nights, Rachel Weisz has a monologue that could almost be an opera aria. When I saw the film, and Weisz quiets down outside a bar where she's just thrown a fit (with Norah Jones sitting by quietly, ready to listen to anything Weisz says), I thought, "If this was an opera, now we'd get Rachel Weisz's aria."
But I couldn't have known how musical Weisz's monologue would be. For one thing, she often spoke in musical phrases, with pitches - musical notes - I could just about have written down in musical notation. But she also made music in a higher sense, gripping my attention simply with the sound of her voice, quite beyond the meaning of her words. Up to a point, this happened as her voice was pushed and shattered by her feelings, but as I listened - maybe because I'm a musician - the sound took on a force that was completely musical (understanding here a wider definition of music, which goes beyond the notes and chords of traditional music, and enters the wider world of pure sound.)
On Thursday, New Zealand site Flicks.co.nz reported a rumor that director Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones had ceased production "due to a rift between the big man and his art director over the best way to depict Heaven. Given that a large portion of film takes place in that very location, with main character Susie Salmon looking down on her family after her murder, this seems a crucial point of difference." The site has since updated the story to make it seem like this happened a while back.
On top of that, DreamWorks/Paramount told us on Friday that the drama will hit theaters in the fall of 2009 and not on March 13, 2009 as it was reported by sites last year. We asked the studio if this had anything to with the supposed "rift" between Jackson and his art director, but that's not the case at all.
Turns out, the movie was never scheduled for March 13 at all, there has not been a delay or "rift," and a fall 2009 launch was always the plan. DreamWorks chief Stacey Snider cleared up the issue by telling ComingSoon.net, "It was a very smooth shoot with no dissent, and all heaven sequences requiring sets or Art Dept involvement were completed on schedule in March. The only shooting remaining involves blue-screen VFX elements, which will be shot in June."
An adaptation of the Alice Sebold best-selling novel, The Lovely Bones tells the story of Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan), who is murdered, but continues to observe her family on Earth after her death. Although she is detached from the world she once knew, Susie witnesses the impact of her loss on her loved ones, whilst her killer skillfully covers his tracks and prepares to murder again. In a tone that is both emotionally truthful, and darkly humorous, Susie tries to balance her desire for vengeance against the love she feels for her family and her need to see them heal; and ultimately comes to understand that the concept of family can encompass both the living and the dead.
Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Stanley Tucci, Susan Sarandon, Michael Imperioli, Rose McIver and Carolyn Dando star in the film, co-written by Jackson and his King Kong and "Lord of the Rings" partners Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh.
I´m very sorry for the lack of updates but I wasn´t online the last week because of family issues. Thanks for still visiting our site and check out the latest updates the next days . I also updated the Media Archive with new videos.
We just got the latest set pictures of "Agora" which Rachel is still filming in Malta. They have been added to the gallery already. A huge thank you goes out to AirPhoto again for donating them to R-Weisz.Net! Their link and logo can be also found on the credits section. Please do not post the set pictures on other sites.
Delimara bay spans two eras: on one side the Freeport high-rise cranes remind one of the vicious dinosaurs wandering about Jurassic Park and on the other ancient Egypt comes to life.
A set has been built at Delimara for the shooting of the ancient Egyptian epic, Agora, based in Roman Egypt in the fourth century AD.
In the movie, Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz plays astrologer-philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria who fights to save the collected wisdom of the ancient world. Her slave Davus (Max Minghella) is torn between his love for his mistress and the possibility of gaining his freedom by joining the rising tide of Christianity.
Directed by the 35-year-old, Oscar-winning director, Alejandro Amenábar, the movie is a uniquely European production. Agora, the period drama, is his second English-language film following The Others (2001), starring Nicole Kidman.
The idea is to bring ancient Alexandria back to life, allowing the audience to see, feel and smell a remote civilisation as if it were as real as today, the director has been quoted as saying.
Agora marks a series of firsts for the island. Not only is an entire film of such a scale being shot here for the first time but also many Maltese are being employed in roles and crew positions that are usually taken up by foreigners.
Agora is also the longest movie to be shot on the island, with an estimated 76 shooting days (15 weeks) scheduled. The production has been in preparation since October and should wrap by the end of June.
With the article comes a new picture from the set of "Agora". It looks really amazing. Be sure to check it out. The picture has been added to our gallery already.
