The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned that Rachel Weisz has signed with talent agency WME. The Oscar winner has no fewer than five upcoming features in the pipeline, starting with this year’s Cannes competition selections The Lobster, which won the jury prize, and Youth. Alchemy has picked up U.S. rights for the former film, while Fox Searchlight aims to release the latter in North America this December. Weisz is also starring opposite Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander in Derek Cianfrance’s adaptation of the M.L. Stedman novel The Light Between Oceans for DreamWorks, which was shot last fall in New Zealand.
