Naomi Watts in Funny Games
There's a new heartstring-tugging flick making the rounds on the festival circuit and Entertainment Weekly has shared the first look ahead of its upcoming Toronto International Film Festival appearance. Shot back in February, The Friend reunites St. Vincent co-stars Naomi Watts and Bill Murray for the first time in ten years in a story all about grief, friendship, and healing based on the National Book Award-winning novel of the same name by Sigrid Nunez.
The Friend was co-written and directed by Montana Story duo Scott McGehee and David Siegel, who are no strangers to emotional tales. Part of what drew them to Nunez's novel for their next feature was the journey of its four-legged friend, who they told EW seemed almost human. "The dog is more like a human character in the sense that he undergoes an emotional experience in the movie along with Iris," Siegel said. "We thought that was beautiful.
'The Friend' Boasts a Star-Studded Supporting Cast Close Bing and Watts will get the chance to melt hearts at both TIFF and the New York Film Festival and the Great Dane will also be seen strutting his stuff on the red carpet ahead of screenings. Beyond the rising star dog and his two human co-stars, The Friend also boasts a stellar supporting cast.
