Watts Interested in ‘Williams’ Story

On October 22nd, 2008

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.
