THR has reported this weekend that actresses Naomi Watts (THE IMPOSSIBLE, J. EDGAR) and Robin Wright (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, RAMPART) will be starring in a new “erotic tale” from director Anne Fontaine (COCO BEFORE CHANEL, NATHALIE…) called THE GRANDMOTHERS.
“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.”
The film is based on Australian Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing’s book of the same name, and has been adapted by Oscar winner and ‘Denethor’ look-alike Christopher Hampton (A DANGEROUS METHOD, ATONEMENT).
Naomi Watts can currently be seen in the not-very-good J. EDGAR, while Robin Wright will appear later this month in David Fincher’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO.
