The 9th of June sees the UK cinema release of My Cousin Rachel, the latest film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s 1951 novel. Rachel Weisz leads the film as the titular relative, a leading role that complements her sterling work in Mick Jackson’s Denial, Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Lobster among others.
She and Sam Claflin are perhaps the biggest names in the film, which is directed by Roger Michell whose previous films include Notting Hill, Morning Glory and Hyde Park on Hudson. The film co-stars Iain Glen (Game of Thrones) and Holliday Grainger (Their Finest Hours), and our interviews with them will be up on th esite shortly.
