Watts Interested in ‘Williams’ Story

My Name is Jody Williams, with Audrey Wells attached to direct, has Naomi Watts negotiating for the lead role.

Jody Williams is a true story, based on the screenplay by Wells, about an uncompromising teacher who works at a temporary employment agency.  She left her comfortable life in Washington to pursue an incredible career in global activism. 

Nearly a decade and a half later, Williams was presented with the Nobel Peace Prize for leading an international campaign to eradicate land mines.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Williams famously called President Bill Clinton a “weenie” for not signing the land mine ban.
