Gregg Goldstein Naomi Watts and director Phillip Noyce are joining forces for the thriller “Lakewood,” set to begin filming Sept.

Director Phillip Noyce is best known for slick, starry thrillers like Clear and Present Danger and Salt, where film icons like Harrison Ford and Angelina Jolie play efficient agents and spies. Mark Putnam, the real-life FBI operative played by Jack Huston in Noyce’s new film Above Suspicion, would probably like to keep that sort of company; he’s characterised here as a relentless straight arrow with plenty of ambition.

A Kentucky drug dealer (Emilia Clarke) sees an FBI agent (Jack Huston) as her romantic gateway out of a dead-end life in Phillip Noyce's Above Suspicion, an adaptation of Joe Sharkey's account of true events in 1988-89. Completed in 2017, the film could have been released at the height of Clarke's Game of Thrones popularity.

Sometimes it’s as much of a burden to portray an iconic character on TV or in films as it is a blessing. Such is the case with Emilia Clarke.

Leo Barraclough Senior International CorrespondentAs part of its Cannes Market presentations, HanWay Films arranged for Phillip Noyce to tell buyers about its true-crime love story “Peggy Jo,” which he will direct, with “Baby Driver” and “Yesterday” actress Lily James starring. The film is loosely based on the true-story of the life of Texan Peggy Jo Tallas, who takes to robbing banks while posing as a man.
