Rachel Weisz is likely to star in a new film version of Terence Rattigan’s THE DEEP BLUE SEA, the Daily Mail reports. The play has been adapted for the screen by and will be directed by Terence Davies.

Weisz would play Hester Collyer, who leaves her judge husband to find “sexual satisfaction” with a former Royal Air Force pilot, the Daily Mail reports. The new adaptation will attempt to explore the play’s topics, including suicide, alcoholism, and sexuality, in greater detail than was permissible when the play debuted in 1952.

The film will be produced by Sean O’Connor and Kate Ogburn. Ogburn told the Daily Mail, “It’s going to be very exciting to get a modern actress wrestling with a major, 20th-century role.”

Weisz’s acceptance of the part is dependent upon the arrangement of schedules.

Rachel Weisz won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in ‘The Constant Gardener.’ Her other film credits include ‘About a Boy,’ ‘Constantine,’ ‘Enemy at the Gates,’ ‘Sunshine,’ and ‘The Mummy.’ On stage, she has appeared in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (for which she won an Olivier Award), SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER, THE SHAPE OF THINGS, and DESIGN FOR LIVING.

We’ve been hearing about a sequel to “Constantine” for a while, but nothing ever materialized. Bloody-Disgusting has now caught up with producer Lauren Shuler Donner to get an update.

“I hope [it happens]. I want to,” she said. “We tried it, we always got there, and then we had a few bumps in the road. Keanu [Reeves] was involved with us, everybody was. We just had a few bumps in the road. We’re gonna try again… we heard a good take.”

The original film was an adaptation of the DC/Vertigo comic book “Hellblazer.” It told the story of irreverent supernatural detective John Constantine (Reeves), who has literally been to hell and back. When Constantine teams up with skeptical policewoman Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister (also played by Weisz), their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles.

Thanks a lot to a nice twitter member of Amazing Rachel Weisz for the tweet on the exclusive interview of Rachel with MS. Magazine on her movie “Agora”. You can read the whole interview under the cut.

It’s unfortunate that Agora, a film about the 5th century neo-Platonist philosopher-astronomer-mathematician Hypatia, is coming out this weekend. It’s in theaters along with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Sex and the City 2: Abu Dhabi Do (not really the title, but it might as well have been).

Rachel Weisz, the star of Agora, jokes that her film has just as much action as its swords and sandals competition, but the battles are more about ideas. As Hypatia, the most prominent woman philosopher of the ancient world known to us, Weisz helps educate a new audience with what she says is actually a very contemporary tale.

Actress Rachel Weisz is already feeling the huge responsibility of playing Jacqueline Kennedy in husband Darren Aronofsky’’s new film – because she’’s a Brit portraying an American icon.

The Mummy star will be play the role of Jackie and the film will portray Jackie’s life and how she coped with her husband President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.

Despite being eager to start shooting for the film, she can’t help being a little anxious as to whether the American audience will accept a Brit actor playing the role of an American icon that everyone loved so much.

“It’’s a recent project so the script is being developed and it’’s a great script. I will have to start to do some reading,” The Daily Express quoted her as saying.

“Jackie Kennedy is American royalty and a 20th century icon, so it’’s extremely scary, daunting, challenging and a huge responsibility. I don”t know exactly how I will play her yet because I haven”t started really working on it, but of course it’’s a big responsibility,” she added.
