Rachel Weisz takes on a Cronenberg classic in the first trailer for Prime Video's Dead Ringers
Prime Video's reboot of the 1988 thriller stars Rachel Weisz as a pair of twin OBGYN's who share everything, including a blurry sense of medical ethics
Top three things it takes two to do: tango, play tennis, and conduct troubling medical experiments. The first teaser for Prime Video’s new Dead Ringers adaptation is here, and even with only a single line of voiceover to work with, Rachel Weisz eerily commands the camera as both leads, twin OBGYN’s Elliott and Beverly Mantle. (Britne Oldford, Poppy Liu, Michael Chernus, Jennifer Ehle, and Emily Meade round out the cast.)
A modern reboot of David Cronenberg’s 1988 thriller of the same name, Dead Ringers follows the Mantle twins— both doctors—as their blurry sense of boundaries extends from their own relationship into their respective professions. The Mantles care about women’s health and leaving behind antiquated practices in medicine. Unfortunately, that pairs dangerously with the twins’ not-so-sound sense of medical ethics and willingness to do whatever it takes to succeed.
