Rachel Weisz and Alice Birch on adapting Dead Ringers for TV and the gynecologist siblings that keep us coming back.
That’s very advanced neonatal medicine. And talking to the longevity scientist was wild — the idea that death is preventable, that there are age-related diseases we can be treating in order to sustain life way beyond how we currently think about it.Can you gene-edit a living person’s genes? I can’t remember how you do that. I’m not a scientist.And then we’ve all read it — that the maternal mortality rates are so high. That’s still shocking.
Will it take the radicality of doctors like the Mantles — people willing to do things outside of the realm of legality and ethics — to change the way that women give birth?I think we’re still asking ourselves these exact questions, and we don’t have the answers. I don’t know if the twins go down the route that I think is right. Beverly is very compromised by taking money.
“Elliot is easily bored and always moving around,” Weisz explains. “I’d often sing a song to myself to move around. Elliot is more free and Beverly is more tortured. But Elliot is exhausting.”There’s a quote in the show: “Do you ever lose yourself inside the characters you’re playing?” Did you feel that way?tress!” I do lose myself totally, between action and cut. It’s a great delight to get lost. Particularly with this kind of writing. But then at “cut!” I’m not lost. I come back.Not now, no.
