'A Special Relationship,' being directed by Bert & Bernie from a script by 'Slumdog Millionaire' writer Simon Beaufoy, will examine Taylor's AIDS activism in the 1980s.
Shifting the focus away from the glamorous and scandalous life most associated with Taylor,will examine the star's role in the fight against AIDS and how much it personally meant to her.
In the mid-1980s, Taylor hired a new personal assistant, Roger Wall, a gay man who grew up in poverty in the homophobic Deep South. Despite their different backgrounds, they developed a deep friendship that would alter the course of both of their lives. Beaufoy’s script, drawn from hours of interviews and exclusive conversations with the people who knew Taylor, creates what the filmmakers have described as a "never-before-seen portrait of the real woman behind the violet eyes." As governments ignored the epidemic, Taylor gambled her reputation and career to speak out in the face of silence emanating from Ronald Reagan's administration.
“Audiences are clearly fascinated by the private lives of iconic Hollywood stars," said Canning and Sherman. "There is noone more iconic than Elizabeth Taylor, and Simon Beaufoy has written a role that shines a light on Elizabeth’s humor and humanity which will be beautifully brought to life through the extraordinary talents of Rachel Weisz.
