Renee Zellweger’s face has a new job and it’s the face of legendary songstress and actress Judy Garland for her role in Judy, a biopic about the late icon. Filming just started and we now have our first look at the Bridget Jones actress as Garland, and they look nearly identical.

The biopic will center around Garland’s life in 1968, which was 30 years after she played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz and one year before she died of a drug overdose. The film will chronicle troubles with her career, sold-out concerts in London, haunting childhood memories, her romance with her fifth husband, and her desire to be with her children. The film will also feature Garland’s most popular songs, including "Over the Rainbow."

Zellweger looks stunning as Garland, and the film already sounds like it’ll be a moving portrait of Garland’s life.
