Naomi Watts is selective about who she works with.

The 40-year-old actress - who is about to star alongside Clive Owen in her new movie 'The Interpol' directed by Tom Tykwer - has revealed that her choice of films are not always based on the script, and that certain cast and directors can sway her decision.

And, but then, of course, the work that I've seen of his was fantastic

When asked if she was more interested in the film once she heard Tyker were directing, Naomi said: "Yes. Certainly that's one of the most important elements for me, I think. Like, 'Funny Games' for instance. That script wasn't compelling me in the way that other scripts were, but it's the director that made me want to do it. But this one, there were many elements. Tom is a great director, I've loved his work before and it's a good thriller. I loved how it moved well, I loved that it was about big, important stuff. And Clive, obviously, too, is a great part of the decision-making."

Naomi also revealed that she is about to commence filming a new movie called 'Mother and Child' - directed by Rodrigo Garcia and starring Annette Bening, Samuel L Jackson and Kerry Washington.

She said: "It's a beautiful story, and just a wonderful piece of writing. I didn't know a huge amount about Rodrigo's work. But this is very much about the script. Alejandro gave it to me. And, but then, of course, the work that I've seen of his was fantastic. I love Rodrigo's work."
