The Friend
Naomi Watts and Bill Murray have joined forces forThe Friend.
That color comes in the form of names.
For the feature film, Watts and Murray’s roles are given the names Iris and Walter, respectively.
“I just loved this connection between the two of them (Iris and Apollo).
He is this massive creature, godlike and clumsy and powerful and entitled and surprising.
She was quite at a low point in her life already.
She was sort of stuck and was quite a lonely person.”
That low point gets lower after Walter (Bill Murray) takes his own life.
Australian actor Naomi Watts has a strong filmography, having had her breakthrough role in 2001s Mulholland Drive.
Id argue theyre her two best movies, but Mulholland Drive takes the top spot.
Much of Walter’s presence inThe Friendexists in flashbacks and dream sequences.
“And so you put a face on the feelings, on the emotion.”
“I’m obsessed.
I’m definitely a dog person, and [it goes for] all dogs,“Watt said.
“I just love dogs.
I’m enamored with them because they’re the most loyal, loving special creatures.
I find them to be completely necessary.”
“I recently lost my dog.
“He was the most extraordinary creature.
The Friendis in theaters now.
