Dead Ringers: An adaptation of an adaptation. Dead Ringers starring Rachel Weisz is a remake of David Cronenberg’s 1988 film of the same name — which was also adapted from a 1977 novel, Twins. The story follows Beverly and Elliot Mantle (both played by Weisz), twin gynecologists who use the fact that they are identical and nobody can tell them apart to their advantage. In the mini-series, the Mantle twins are planning to open a lucrative, high-tech birthing center, for which they need funding. Their work to secure financing highlights the inherent differences between the two twins, with one of them typically warmer and on firmer moral ground, while the other is more icy and willing to bend moral rules (although arguably more intelligent). You can watch Dead Ringers on Amazon Prime.
