First, Naomi Watts will star as a member of the family being terrorised by two strangers in Michael Haneke’s US-remake of his own 1997 classic FUNNY GAMES.

After FUNNY GAMES, Naomi will play alongside Viggo Mortensen in David Cronenberg’s new film EASTERN PROMISES.
In the film, a 14-year-old girl dies on Christmas giving birth in a London hospital. The hospital`s midwife (Watts) sets out to find the girl’s family for the orphaned child. Her search takes her to London’s shady Russian crime community and to a Russian crime boss (Mortensen) who is not what he seems. Shooting will start this November in London.
