October 13, 2003 — The Calgary Sun talked to Rachel Weisz recently about her work on Runaway Jury and what it was like to work with titans like Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman.

"It was such an honour working with these three men because actors don't come much better," says Weisz, whose films include The Mummy, Enemy at the Gates, About a Boy and Confidence.

"There was certainly a level of fear when I had to shoot my scenes with Gene Hackman, but that worked really well for the film. My character is terrified of him.

"She really doesn't know what he's going to do to her."
