Naomi Watts is in negotiations to headline Universal’s drama “My Name Is Jody Williams” says The Hollywood Reporter.
Based on the true story of Jody Williams, it follows 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.
Audrey Wells adapted the screenplay and is attached to direct.
