The Bridget Jones’s Baby star will be bringing the late actress to life in the upcoming biopic, simply entitled Judy.

Garland died in 1969 at the age of 47, having risen to fame from roles such as The Wizard of Oz and A Star Is Born.

The film, directed by Rupert Goold and based on the play End of the Rainbow, is set just prior to the icon’s unfortunate death when she arrives in London for a five-week run of sold-out performances.

“For over 40 years Judy Garland had laughed and loved and entertained no matter what life threw at her, and her public adored her for it,” said Goold. “But she paid a price in a childhood lost to Hollywood, an emotional exhaustion and a yearning for a ‘normal’ life beyond the rainbow.”

The first trailer for the movie has now been released, with Zellweger practically unrecognizable as the Cecile B. DeMille Award winner.

Featuring only the melancholy sounds of Zellweger singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow, the trailer hints that we’re in for an emotional time when Judy is released on the 27th of September.

The Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom actress has been tapped to star in the Renee Zellweger led series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Pineda has landed a series regular role. She will play Cassidy, a work-obsessed employee of Bioprint since its inception. She is the kind of woman who does the right thing, even when no one’s looking — a quality that will come to haunt her when she is set up to take a big fall. 

What/If is described as a social thriller that explores what happened when acceptable people start doing unacceptable things. The first 10-season episode centers on a newlywed couple, played by Jane Levy and Blake Jenner, that accepts a dangerous proposition.

Pineda’s other credits include The Detour, The Originals, and American Odyssey.

According to an official press release, this social thriller explores the ripple effects of what happens when acceptable people start doing unacceptable things. Each season will tackle a different morality tale inspired by culturally consequential source materials and the power of a single fateful decision to change the trajectory of an entire life.

The first season consists of 10 episodes and it will center on a shady venture capitalist, played by Zellweger. It sure sounds intriguing, and Mike Kelley will be the one responsible for bringing her story to life. He was previously a showrunner of Swingtown and Revenge. His writing credits also include hit teen dramas One Tree Hill and The O.C.

Before joining What/If, Zellweger won roles in a couple more impressive projects her fans are looking forward to. She was cast as the lead in the upcoming biopic Judy, biographical musical-drama about the legendary Judy Garland.

The Oscar winner has been hard at work in preparation for her role as the renowned actress and Grammy winner, Judy Garland.

The Same Kind of Different as Me star will play Miss Garland in Judy, which will be set in the 1960s and will chronicle her infamous battles with alcohol and substance abuse.

Judy, who became a household name after playing Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, died as a result of an overdose in 1969 at age 47.

Pathé UK has now released the first photograph from the film, depicting Renée as the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.
