Luc Besson to direct again (?)
From IMDB.
Hollywood actress Naomi Watts has landed her first action role - in new spy movie Daisy Scarlett. The Oscar-nominated star, 35, will reportedly start work on the film once she completes filming the sequel to hit horror flick The Ring. Watts's Sydney-based publicist John Cann says, "We will hopefully know something more concrete in the near future." British actress Kate Beckinsale was the original choice for the lead - but the producers wanted someone who wouldn't normally be associated with an action role. The film is to be directed by Leon film-maker Luc Besson - and will revolve around M16 agent Scarlett who investigates the deaths of high-profile people whose vital organs have been removed.
