Andrew Lincoln will co-star with Naomi Watts in the family drama Penguin Bloom.
Lincoln will portray the husband of Watts’ character in the drama, set on Sydney’s northern beaches and centers on a young family struggling to come to terms with a near-fatal accident that left their mother paralyzed.
As they learn to adjust to her new situation, an unlikely ally entered their lives in the form of an injured Magpie chick, dubbed “Penguin” by the family.
“Penguin Bloom” is adapted from the bestseller by Bradley Trevor Greive and Cameron Bloom.
The film is directed by Glendyn Ivin from a script by Shaun Grant and Harry Cripps.
Watts will also serve as producer alongside Emma Cooper and Made Up Stories’ Bruna Papandrea, Jodi Matterson and Steve Hutensky. Cameron, Sam Bloom and BTG will also executive produce alongside Ricci Swart.
