Naomi Watts To Star In 'Grandmothers'

The Grandmothers
Naomi Watts and Robin Wright are to headline French director Anne Fontaine’s (Coco Avant Chanel) next feature, The Grandmothers, which has been greenlit for investment funding by Screen Australia, the agency said Monday.

The erotic tale of misguided love and a celebration of the enduring nature of female friendship, The Grandmothers tells the story of two lifelong friends who fall in love with each other’s teenage sons. Based on Australian Nobel Prize-winning author Doris Lessing’s novel, it has been adapted for the screen by Oscar winner Christopher Hampton.
