Rue Morgue issue #212 features an interview with DEAD RINGERS series creator Alice Birch and star Rachel Weisz.
It was a stroke of genius by the team behind DEAD RINGERS to task the one and only Rachel Weisz with bringing the Mantles back to life. Her portrayal of the twins is at once wholly original, yet recognizable and familiar to fans of the film. DEAD RINGERS’ other stroke of genius was conceiving of the horrific opportunity presented by twin sisters with the medical skills and knowledge to impregnate each other. The premise of DEAD RINGERS is simple – Beverly wants to have a baby, just not with Elliot. What lengths will her sister go through to ensure that Beverly never leaves her side?
