Is Naomi Watts the new Kristen Stewart? Well, no, but Twilight team Summit Entertainment is getting into business with her, buying the rights to not one, but two films that star the actress. One – Doug Liman’s true-life drama Fair Game – is already in the can and now there’s also The Impossible, which will find her starring with Ewan McGregor.

The Orphanage’s Juan Antonio Bayona is behind the camera for the second film, which will start shooting in August in Spain and Thailand.

Bayona’s Orphanage collaborator, writer Sergio G Sanchez, wrote the script, about which few details are known other than it's based on fact and takes place during the huge Tsunami that hit Thailand and other areas in 2004.
