London, Apr 16 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Hollywood actress Rachel Weisz would play the character of the former First Lady Jackie Kennedy in a new JFK movie. This new upcoming movie is about the assassination of the former US President John F Kennedy. The producer and the director of the movie is Darren Aronofsky, who is Rachel Weisz’s fiancé. The movie about the former first lady is aptly titled ‘Jackie’, and the plot of the movie is centered around 4days on Jackie Kennedy, when her husband was assassinated till the time he was buried.
This movie is said to show the world the real Jackie Kennedy, when she was in grief and when her world came crashing down on her, because her husband JFK was assassinated.
Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky have been engaged for the last 5 years. They also have a 3years old son together. And this is not the first time that they have teamed up together for a project. Their first project was ‘The Fountain’ in 2006, in which Rachel played the lead role and her fiancé directed the movie.
Jackie Kennedy gave 7 interviews in 1964 to historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. In all these interviews she talked about her marriage, her life and times in the White House, campaigning in the election-year and her famous husband JFK’s thoughts about a second term as President. All these interviews are an integral part of the JFK Presidential Library’s Oral History. But they were kept under wraps, for an indefinite time, as Jackie Kennedy wanted them to keep away from the public eye. However since she died in 1994, so her daughter Caroline Kennedy has finally allowed them to be released to the public.
