Naomi Watts is in negotiations to topline My Name Is Jody Williams, a Universal drama that Audrey Wells is attached to direct, says The Hollywood Reporter.
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 Peace Prize for leading an international campaign to eradicate land mines.
Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen are producing. Melissa Goddard is executive producing.
