Aussie beauty signs for Gail Johnson story
Naomi Watts has found financing for “We Are All the Same”, a new drama from the Bureau of Moving Pictures.
“Hotel Rwanda” co-writer Keir Pearson is adapting the story of Gail Johnson, a white South African woman who adopted a black child with AIDS, then traveled the world with the child to raise awareness about his plight. “Nightline” correspondent Jim Wooten wrote the tome, published by Penguin in late 2004.
Marty Adelstein and Scott Nemes are producing with Andrew Meieran and Matthew Tabak from the Bureau. The Bureau are putting in their own money to finance the film.
“It’s one of those passion projects that you hope you become involved in,” Nemes tells Variety.
