Production on Dead Ringers has been going for a few months and is expected to wrap in December.
The project has been given a code name 'Larry's Diner' on a few film notices spotted around the city.
In the series Weisz will play the gender-swapped version of The Mantle Twins, a role originally played by Jeremy Irons in the David Cronenberg movie.
Originator: The idea to do a re-imagining of the cult movie came from Weisz and it began development back in 2018
In the re-imagining the identical twins are brilliant OB-gyns on a mission to change the way women birth using unethical medical means and illegal research.
In their personal lives the twins take advantage of their identical nature and share everything including lovers, and generally push the boundaries on all aspects of life.
The idea for the re-imagining came directly from Weisz who then teamed up with Normal People writer Alice Birch for an Annapurna production.
