Rachel Weisz Takes "The Deep Blue Sea" to BAFTA

Tending to promotional duties, Rachel Weisz was spotted at the BAFTA photocall for her upcoming film "The Deep Blue Sea" in London, England earlier today (November 25).

Showing off her effortlessly chic style, the "Dream House" actress dressed in a black jacket, striped top, and leather pants as she posed for photogs covering the UK event.

During a recent interview, Rachel discussed her character in the Terrence Davie flick, telling press, "She makes a kind of fool out of herself. She's so in love and so desperate to be with Freddie that she doesn't really care that he gives her nothing and treats her badly: she'll take anything. And I thought that was a really interesting emotional place to be in."

"I suppose you can say [love] is a kind of madness, isn't it? That's sort of what I guess the film is about; throwing away reservations and being completely, totally at the mercy of all your passions, throwing your manners and your breeding and your upbringing and your class, or whatever, out the window," Weisz added.

Report: "Breaking Dawn" Birth Scene Spurs Seizures

It's known for causing mass hysteria among its fans, however several reports are faulting "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" for causing a different reaction from audience members this time around - seizures.

According to reports, Brandon Gephart, a man from California, had to be rushed to the emergency room after falling ill while watching Bella's much talked about birth scene.

While viewing the ultra-gory blood-filled sequence - which features sudden bursts on light - Brandon began "convulsing, snorting, trying to breathe."

"I didn’t really remember what happened after that I think I blacked out. According to her [his girlfriend, Kelly Bauman], I was shaking and mumbling different noises," Gephart told ABC News.

Looking as if the problem could go wide-spread, another Twi-hard, who has asked to remain unnamed, told press he also experienced similar issues when watching the clip. The film's production company, Summit Entertainment, has yet to comment on the incidents.
