Rachel Weisz was spotted sporting a wig on the set of Denial in London Sunday with her costar Andrew Scott.

Rachel Weisz Films ‘Denial’

In Denial, Weisz, 45, plays American historian Deborah Lipstadt, while Scott has been cast in the role of solicitor Anthony Julius. Based on Lipstadt’s book History on Trial: My Day in Court With a Holocaust Denier, Denial chronicles Lipstadts’s legal battle with David Irving, the book’s titular denier.

To inhabit the role of Lipstadt, Weisz wore a short, wavy auburn wig filming Denial. She was clad in a checkered green and navy trench coat, matching navy pants and a floral scarf. She braved the winds and rain on the London sidewalk with Sherlock‘s Scott, who had been costumed in a suit and topcoat, as well as glasses for the day on set.

In addition to Denial, Weisz has a number of other upcoming projects in the pipeline. She will star in the untitled Donald Crowhurst project opposite Colin Firth, Derek Cianfrance‘s The Light Between the Oceans with Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender, Complete Unknown with Michael Shannon and Kathy Bates and The Favourite with Emma Stone.

“Let’s just say I’ve got no complaints. Life is good and I’m very, very happy,” Weisz recently told Indian Express, adding, “I have a wonderful family and my career seems to be going well, touch wood.”

As Weisz noted, in addition to her thriving film career, she has a thriving home life, which happens to be husband Daniel Craig – the current James Bond franchise star.

“I don’t know James Bond personally and as far as I understand, he doesn’t really get married, does he?” Weisz said, declining to go into details about her husband, but acknowledging that he’s a “brilliant” actor.

Denial is slated for release sometime in 2016.
