In Rupert Goold’s “Judy,” which opens in theaters Sept. 27 after hitting the festival circuit in Telluride and Toronto, Renée Zellweger plays Garland in the final months of the performer’s life.
Renée Zellweger knows what it’s like to be a public target. At 50, she’s lived half of her life in the spotlight, weathering tabloid stories about her weight, plastic surgery and high-profile relationships with men like Jim Carrey and Kenny Chesney.
“It wasn’t shocking because I’ve never known any different,” Zellweger says. “It might have been a little less direct then than it can be today, where you will be unapologetically asked about the nature or health of your personal, intimate relationships and the private choices you make. I didn’t tear through magazines about Judy Garland or anyone else growing up, looking for something that was salacious.
In writing his screenplay, Edge did not reach out to either of the Luft children or Garland’s older daughter, Liza Minnelli,of the film, “I do not approve nor sanction the upcoming film about Judy Garland in any way.” He knew that Lorna Luft had already written her own memoir about her mother, 1998’s “Me and My Shadows,” and ultimately came to feel that “a little distance” from the children would prove useful in remaining neutral.
