- Rachel Weisz, co-star Britne Oldford and creator Alice Birch visit the BFI Southbank to talk to Edith Bowman about Dead Ringers, their modern take on David Cronenberg’s 1988 psychosexual thriller.
Created and executive produced by Emmy-nominated writer and playwright Alice Birch (Normal People, Succession), Dead Ringers stars Academy Award-winning actor Rachel Weisz playing the double-lead roles of Elliot and Beverly Mantle, twins who share everything: drugs, lovers, and an unapologetic desire to do whatever it takes - including pushing the boundaries of medical ethics-in an effort to bring women's health care to the forefront.
Dead Ringers is on Amazon Prime:

Rachel Weisz is the most powerful woman in Hollywood.... speechless... she is getting wiser and wiser!!! congratulations!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Rachel Weisz is extremely talented and is the ideal actress to portray the aforementioned roles.
Superb series and it’s great to hear the views of the creatives. I love David’s films and cosmopolis is a fav at the moment. The film Dead Ringers was so disturbing that I have only seen it about 3 times. The last time I saw it was only to the halfway point. Extremely good, emotional and dark.
and Rachel is captivating
I enjoyed it. Its interesting take on story. Rachel did a great job. She did a really job portraying Twins. Jeremy Irons would be impressive because you actually lose track of which twin is which
The two actresses and the writer seem absolutely lovely and super talented - but I don't think Edith Bowman asked particularly intelligent questions. They did a lot with the questions anyway in terms of their responses, but I think it could have been a much better interview with someone else.
I just watched it, and it was brilliant⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rachel Weisz is an amazing actor. She also is a supporter of the LGBTQ community. She's not afraid to portray herself as a lesbian in film. I adore her for that, and for her acting.
Beverly, was so funny ❤❤❤ was just laughing for real
Shame they could only get Beverley for the panel
Thank you bellissima zio zino un amico vero italiano 💯💋🌹
Great show and Weisz was mesmerizing as always. However, I don't understand the need to have the word 'fu*cking' in every single line. It felt unnecessary
Ending was such a mess, what a shame it was a very intense show.
Nyc 🥰
As with most adaptations of remarkable films, the one is a guaranteed flop. Watch the original; It's brilliant.
velvet women
The world does not need movies like this with more trauma for everyone to digest. People have walked out of this movie. Which means way more people wanted to but didn't. Rachel's creative role vs negative trauma for us.
The world needs many more movies like this. Almost exclusively.
so if this is the version made for women, does that mean its 90% creepy sado masochism now?
Their "modern take" is pretty much everybody else's: let's cast a woman as Thomas Jefferson, let's cast a woman as Holmesl or Watson and now, almost predictably, as the "Dead Ringers." Getting kind of stale, I think.
Actually show is pretty good
You're speaking of gender swapped remakes. This show is a tansfigured revamp.
P.S. Not to mean any offense to the fans of the original 1988 work. That one was uncomfortably scary for me.
Edit : Won't it be great if more people lay their opinions based on actual facts for a particular matter irather than bombarding everything with a generalized derivative tone.
This one few times whew it's works really well. In movie you can on stretch the story so far. But with a show like this it's really interesting because we see how being two women who are twins and doctor's.
I tried to watch the entire series but I couldn’t….just not watchable.
Wow you've got a lot of time on your hands, Karen
This series was so so so horrible. The first episode was traumatizing, to say the least.. And it didn't get any better after that either. Never ending (yes, really) profanity throighout the show, complex & inconsistent scenes, unexplained storylines, super disturbing birthing scenes, unethical medical practices, unnecessary show of blood, racial & societal degradation dialogues, sensitive topics done haphazardly, and over the top drug use.. And did I evere mention all the unnecessary swearing?? Omg.. What a waste of time and an awfully painful traumatizing experience.
