Jacki Weaver is starring alongside Naomi Watts and Andrew Lincoln in 'Penguin Bloom', the adaptation of Bradley Trevor Greive and Cameron Bloom’s novel directed by Glendyn Ivin.
Emma Cooper has been hired by Playmaker Media as the firm's Los Angeles-based executive producer and has joined the board of Australians in Film.
Naomi Watts has partnered with Reese Witherspoon and Bruna Papandrea to option Aussie bestseller 'Penguin Bloom'.
Glendyn Ivin was in Glasgow shooting the BBC/ABC psychological thriller 'The Cry' last year when he got a call from his US agent.
'Penguin Bloom' stars Naomi Watts as Sam Bloom, a young mother whose world is turned upside down after a near-fatal accident leaves her unable to walk.
Celebrated and adored by millions, she was the Queen of people's hearts, yet the bittersweet story of the last man to truly capture hers has never been told.
