Actors Naomi Watts and Odessa A’zion have been roped in for Cody Fern’s upcoming untitled feature film.
The film, also featuring Sarah Paulson, Dianne Wiest and Toby Wallace, is currently under production in Montreal.
Set against the backdrop of a Broadway production of Bertolt Brecht’s “Mother Courage”, the film revolves around Paulson's character Sandra Vale, a celebrated actress whose life begins to unravel on the eve of her greatest performance.
When her sister April (Watts) arrives in New York after a 30-year estrangement, the stage is set for a tense family confrontation. Wiest plays vitriolic family matriarch Diane, while Wallace plays April’s son, Theo. A’zion will portray Lucy, a willful rebel on the edge of a life-altering decision.

Watts had her breakthrough with her dual role as Betty Elms/Diane Selwyn in David Lynch’s neo-noir mystery "Mulholland Drive" in 2001, following which she went on to feature in projects such as "The Ring " and "The Divergent Series: Insurgent".
A’zion is known for featuring in "Good Girl Jane", released in 2022 and the 2020 series "Grand Army", among others.
