Rachel Weisz will show audiences the activist side of Elizabeth Taylor in a new biopic, 'A Special Relationship':
The film will be set in the mid-1980s, when Taylor first hired Wall, a gay man who grew up in poverty in the homophobic Deep South—an experience far removed from the glitz and glamour that surrounded Taylor since she was a child. Even so, the pair developed a deep friendship that inspired Taylor to speak out in the fight against AIDS.
Beaufoy reportedly shaped his script out of hours of interviews and conversations with Taylor to craft this portrait of an actress-turned-activist, in which Taylor proved combative against Ronald Reagan’s dismissive administration. Weisz’s involvement is the first casting announcement for the film, so it will be interesting to see who will portray the late Republican president she spars with on the AIDS debate.
