Seems like even director Terence Malick has gotten so antsy working on Tree of Life, his much-anticipated and characteristically much-delayed new film, that he’s moved on to casting his next project. The Wrap has word that Ben Affleck and Rachel Weisz have just been cast in Malick’s as-yet-untitled next project. The project was initially announced at this year’s Berlin Film Festival where it was described as a “powerful and moving love story.”

Though rumors about Affleck being cast in the projected started spreading earlier this week, his agents have not officially confirmed with The Wrap that he has been cast in the film. Weisz’s agents, on the other hand, have confirmed her involvement. Which doesn’t mean that she could be in the film one minute and out the next. Christian Bale was initially tapped for what The Wrap surmises is the role Affleck will now be playing. Other cast members announced at Berlin include Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdams and Olga Kurylenko.

It’s very weird to think of a new Malick project in its nascence before another one that’s been gestating for years now hasn’t even been released. Malick’s a noted perfectionist and with recent work like The New World backing him up, it’s no wonder why people give him ample room to work with. Still: are we ever going to see Tree of Life? How many tweaks can the man make?

Elena sent me the following links to several interviews where Rachel talks about “Agora”. The interviews have been added below. Be sure to read the Chron interview because it´s the first time Rachel talks about her upcoming movie “Jackie” directed by her fiance Darren Aronofsky .

Rachel Weisz isn’t “noble” in any way, so would never die for her job.

The actress plays Hypatia in her movie Agora, which was recently released in America. The film is a historical drama set in Egypt, and Rachel’s character was interested in learning about astronomy and mathematics.

The actress was attracted to the part because it is so different to what she’s done before. “It seemed very unusual and daring and out of my comfort zone, so I thought, why not?” she explained. “She’s willing to die for what she believes in, which I’m not – at all. I’m not noble in any way. The way I figured out I could identify with her is that I’m very, very, very passionate about my work, and so is she. But I also managed to have a relationship and be a mum. I don’t think she had those options open to her.”
