Hollywood partners Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber have both landed roles as spies in rival espionage movies.
Watts has singed to play secret agent Valerie Plane alongside Sean Penn in Fair Game; while Schreiber will star as Angelina Jolie's CIA boss in Salt.
And they are helping each other get into character.
Schreiber tells the New York Daily News, "Naomi and I both play CIA agents who appear normal. They aren’t Hollywood’s idea of a spy. We’re both trying to figure out who they are."
It will be the third time that Watts has worked with Sean Penn, after 21 grams and The Assassination of Richard Nixon, she can currently be seen in The International alongside Clive Owen.
Watts and Schreiber met on the set of The Painted Veil, where they played lovers, and Schreiber will return to the big screen this summer in Wolverine after appearing in Defiance with Daniel Craig.
