The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/i> says Rachel Weisz has been tapped to play Hollywood legend \u2014 and noted scientist! \u2014 Hedy Lamarr<\/a> in Face Value<\/i>, an indie film to be directed by Amy Redford, daughter of Robert. The Reporter<\/i> also notes that Lamarr was \u201cmost famous\u201d for co-starring in Cecil B. DeMille\u2019s Samson and Delilah<\/i> (1949), the first of the post-war Bible epics. (Samson was played by Victor Mature.) Will the new film depict the making of DeMille\u2019s film in any way, shape or form? Will Weisz have to wear a Philistine costume?
