Amazon Studios has shared some preview photos for Prime Video’s upcoming series adaptation of David Cronenberg’s 1988 psychological thriller, Dead players. The series is the protagonist Rachel Weisz who plays the double role of twins Elliot and Beverly Mantle.
The twins share it all: “Drugs, lovers, and an unapologetic desire to do whatever it takes, including pushing the boundaries of medical ethics, in an effort to challenge antiquated practices and bring women’s healthcare to the forefront.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers, it’s a film I should probably revisit before this series is released. I’m a huge Weisz fan, though, and can’t wait to see her in this series.
The ensemble cast of the series includes Britney Oldford (The Umbrella Academy, American Horror Story: Asylum) as Genevieve, Poppy Liu (Hack, iCarly) like Greta, Michael Cernus (Separation, orange is the new black) like Tom, Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark Thirty, Saint Maud) as Rebecca, e Emilia Meade (The Deuce, the leftovers) as Susan.
The show’s directors include Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene, The Nest, The Iron Claw), Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s body, Girlfight), Karena Evans (P-valley, snowfall), AND Lauren Wolkstein (A family friend, Y: The Last Man).
Dead players premiering on Prime Video on April 21.
