In False Pretense, Rachel Weisz attributes her traits to Ogre twins with problematic behavior. The series, which consists of six episodes, is adapted TwinsA novel by Jack Giasland and Barry Wood. First of all, it arrives 35 years after David Cronenberg’s film of the same name, starring Jeremy Irons.
Even if this modern and feminized re-reading takes its own path away from the first version, Cronenberg’s shadow still lingers. The series also pays homage to him on several occasions, either through costumes or a few details recognizable to fans.
David Cronenberg had no involvement, directly or indirectly, in this new claim. He just allowed this remake to see the light of day. When AlloCiné questions Rachel Weisz, she reveals that the director was still contacted after the series ended.
“I am, or rather we call it, a big fan of David Cronenberghe explains. I texted him when we finished filming. I asked him if he would like to see the show and he said he would, so we sent it off. I know it’s currently in pre-production, so I don’t know if he’s had time to watch it, but I’d be very interested to know what he thinks about it, for sure.“
A year after the presentation of Future Crimes at Cannes, the director is indeed preparing his new film “Shroud” with Vincent Cassel, Diane Kruger and Guy Pearce. The story of a businessman who discovers that several graves in a cemetery, including his wife’s, have been damaged.
The Pretends is available on Prime Video.
