In a recent revelation, Hollywood star Naomi Watts is set to captivate audiences with her exceptional acting prowess in Audrey Diwan’s upcoming erotic drama, ‘Emmanuelle.’ The film draws inspiration from Emmanuelle Arsan’s renowned novel and is crafted from a script co-developed by Diwan and Rebecca Zlotowski, the talent behind ‘Other People’s Children.’
Based on the compelling narrative of Arsan’s novel, the movie delves into the intricate world of a woman and the array of erotic fantasies that occupy her thoughts. This timeless story was previously adapted into a 1974 film of the same title, directed by Just Jaeckin and starring Sylvia Kristel, achieving cult status in the process.
Watts shared this exciting news through a now-deleted Instagram Story, featuring her ‘Emmanuelle’ co-star Noemie Merlant. Merlant, a celebrated French actor known for her breakthrough role in Celine Sciamma’s ‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’ and her English-speaking debut in Todd Field’s Oscar-nominated film ‘Tar,’ assumes the titular role in ‘Emmanuelle.’
Joining Merlant and Watts in this cinematic venture are a stellar cast including Will Sharpe (‘The White Lotus’), Jamie Campbell Bower (‘Stranger Things’), Chacha Huang (‘Money Heist’), and Anthony Wong (‘Infernal Affairs’). As anticipation builds for this provocative drama, the film is poised to make waves with its talented ensemble and enticing storyline.
