The movie will be based on the memoir of Rose's son, Erik Lee Preminger, My G-String Mother: At Home With Gypsy Rose Lee, and will focus on Lee's life in the 1950s in which she was partially focused on the creation of the musical Gypsy.

Weaver will return to the New York stage this spring in the Playwrights Horizons' production of A. R. Gurney's Crazy Mary. She previously starred in Gurney's Mrs. Farnsworth at the Flea; her Broadway credits include Hurlyburly, for which she received a Tony Award nomination, Gemini, and Sex and Longing. She is a three-time Academy Award nominee for Aliens, Gorillas in the Mist, and Working Girl.
