Weisz will be directed by her fiancee Darren Aronofsky, the man behind The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream. This is the second time the pair has worked together, with the first being the 2006 film The Fountain.

The script had previously been rumored as a Spielberg produced HBO movie, but that is clearly no longer the case. The script was written by Noah Oppenheim, who works in reality TV at production company Reveille.

The story is described as follows: Jackie, written over period of nights and weekends by Oppenheim, catalogs the four days between JFK’s assassination and his burial, showing the beloved Jackie at both her most vulnerable and her most graceful.



If that description sounded as boring to you as it did to me then here are some pictures of Rachel Weisz to snap you back to consciousness.

Update: The girl above isn’t actually Weisz (Damn you and your lies Google Images) but I’m going to allow her to stay because she is smart, funny and an overall pleasure to converse with.
