A rare Naomi gem has popped up online today! We have a photo of Naomi from her time at Ysgol Gyfun Llangefni school in Anglesey, Wales. As you can see she’s sporting a rather interesting looking hair-do. Naomi and her famly moved from Wales to Australia when she was 14 (in 1982), so, judging by how old Naomi looks in this photo, I’d guess it was taken soon before that. Go and have a look yourself :p

I just came across this short interview of Naomi talking to French TV news station Canal at the Cannes Film Festival about Blonde.

Hi Naomi fans! Sorry for the lack of updates here recently – I have sooo much to add, I just don’t know where to start! For today though, I have a little photoshoot treat for you – I’ve added more photos from Naomi’s recent Blackbook and Italian Vanity Fair photoshoots. They’re all new, so enjoy them right here! Naomi looks so chic in the Vanity Fair set and so different in the Blackbook set.

And a few days ago I updated the French Vogue photoshoot album with a textless photo of the cover and better quality version of Naomi’s individual photo.

Thanks go to Alex for alerting me to new photos of Naomi on the Ann Taylor website. These are the photoshoot pictures used for the adverts, and Naomi looks so beautiful, particularly against the warm background colours. Photos are in the Gallery for your viewing pleasure

Sometimes a bun needs a little more time in the oven. We’re totally cool with that, too, as long as it is extra tasty when it’s served up for public consumption. Will some reshoots be able to do the trick for Jim Sheridan’s new flick, Dream House?

We’ll find out when the film is released on February 18th, 2011, but for now Production Weekly reports that two weeks of reshoots for the Morgan Creek/Universal Pictures film have been ordered up in Toronto and are planned to begin on September 27th.

The project, picked up as a spec by David Loucka, follows a family that relocates into what appears to be the ideal residence in small town Connecticut. However, the husband (Daniel Craig) and wife (Naomi Watts) are disturbed to discover that their beautiful new home was the site of another family’s slaughter, believed to be at the hands of the husband, who survived.

We finally have an official theatrical trailer for Fair Game! The film is released in the US on November 5th. The official site for the film is also now online, and you can view it at www.fairgame-movie.com. The film also has a Facebook page, and a campaign for ethical media on TakePart.com. Screencaps from the trailer and official site are now in the Gallery.

Don’t hesitate to leave a comment with your thoughts on this trailer and film!

Naomi is featured in an editorial in the new September 2010 issue of US Vogue. Sadly it is not a main editorial on her though (when will US Vogue give her one of them?!!). The editorial is entitled ‘On the Town‘ and features a number of celebrities and models, although I am not sure what it is actually about. Naomi is photographed alongside Eddie Redmayne, among others. I’ve added a preview photo into the Gallery, and will replace this with a good quality scan when one becomes available.

This magazine hits newsstands in the US on August 24th.

If anyone is able to contribute a scan of Naomi’s page in this magazine then please let me know! We would be very grateful

• Vogue (US) – September 2010

Following on from a translated article posted earlier this week about Naomi’s arrival in Alicante to shoot The Impossible, an English-language article has now surfaced. It doesn’t give many more details, but has some info on Ewan McGregor’s arrival, and the studio in Alicante where they will film some big water scenes.

The Australian actress Naomi Watts arrived in Alicante last week to begin filming scenes from the film “The Impossible”, which she is starring in with Ewan McGregor.

The film is directed by Spaniard Juan Antonio Bayona, and will depict the devastating effects of the Tsunami, which struck the southeastern coast of Asia in 2004.

Scot Ewan McGregor will arrive in Alicante shortly, to join the project. The Ciudad de la Luz will be the scene of filming for at least a couple of weeks.

Most of the film will be recorded in Thailand, but the directors will make the most of the wave tank at the Ciudad de la Luz, where waves of up to 6 metres can be created.

The Ciudad de la Luz studios have been up and running for five years, and is really taking off with lots of new projects for 2010.

I have another batch of Cannes photos for you today – this is a large batch and, give or take 1 or 2 photos, it is all in HQ! Naomi looks amazing at all 3 events added today, although she looks particularly stunning at the Biutiful premiere – this understated look is just wow! I also love her look at the Tall Dark Stranger premiere, although it would’ve been perfect with slightly less dramatic make-up! Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts, as always!

More catch-up Cannes photos will be added later today …
