Call it the suicidal, teenage “Bucket List” if you will, but Naomi Watts is reportedly in early talks to join Dakota Fanning in “Now Is Good,” an adaptation of Jenny Downham‘s Before I Die.
The story follows Tessa, a teenager dying from leukemia who drafts a list of things to do before she dies (the top choice being sex), while dealing with the relationships with various family members in the lead up to her death. Sounds fun! The film is set to be directed by Ol Parker (“Imagine Me & You“) and we would imagine Fanning and Watts would play mother and child.
No word yet on shooting schedules or other details, but as always, early talks are just that.
