Naomi Watts is in talks to act in “My Name is Jody Williams”. It is a Universal drama that Audrey Wells is attached to direct. Dan Jinks and Bruce are producing.
The screenplay by Wells tells the true story of Jody Williams, a strong willed teacher working for a temporary employment agency who left her life in Washington to pursue an unlikely career in global activism. Almost a decade and a half later, Williams was honored with the Nobel Prize for leading an international campaign to eradicate land mines.
Jody Williams is known to be brash and controversial; she famously called President Bill Clinton a weenie for not signing the land mine ban. Melissa Goddard is executive producing the film.
Naomi Watts was last seen in Funny Games and Easter Promises. Her next project will be The International which will star Clive Owen as well.
