BBC America has released the first photo from Burton and Taylor starring Dominic West (The Hour, The Wire) as Richard Burton and Helena Bonham Carter (The Lone Ranger, The King’s Speech) as Elizabeth Taylor. West and Carter bring to life the story of one of Hollywood’s most fiery couples in this dramatic film set to air this fall.
 
Per BBC America: “The 90-minute drama follows their private and public relationship played out against their ill-fated appearance in a 1983 revival of Noel Coward’s stage play, Private Lives. Burton and Taylor is one of the most fascinating, glamorous and tempestuous relationships of the 20th century – the two most famous movie stars of their day who played out every high and low of their love affairs, multiple marriages and divorces right in the public eye.”
 
However it turns out, it has to be better than Lindsay Lohan’s performance as Elizabeth Taylor in Liz & Dick, right?
