Darren Aronofsky to direct Rachel Weisz as Jackie Kennedy

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that The Wrestler director Darren Aronofsky will direct fiancée Rachel Weisz in a biopic about Jackie Kennedy, marking their second collaboration since The Fountain. Weisz will lend her uncanny resemblance to the role of Jackie O as the film chronicles the trials the First Lady endured during the four days between JFK’s assassination and burial. The spec script was written by Noah Oppenheim, who is head of development at television production company Reveille. Aronofsky will also produce.
