Watts Set To Play Action Lead

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.

Being action buffs, we wondered if Portman would ever consider doing a sequel to her very first movie Leon, known Stateside as The Professional. "I would do any film that Luc Besson directed. If he directed it, I would do it." And then quickly added with a smile, "...but he hasn't asked me, because that's not anything that's real. You just made that movie up."
