It's unclear what role Naomi will play in the film, but she stars alongside acclaimed French actress Noemie Merlant.
This came after Naomi said she had “great sex” with husband Billy Crudup after showing him the estrogen patches she wore as she struggled with early menopause.
The 21 Grams actress was married to Watchmen star Billy, 55, in a low-key ceremony on June 9 and Naomi said although the two are having a lot of fun now, she was nervous when they met because of what she thought , their patches would take a turn off for the actor.
She said at an event called “Unlocking Intimacy: Navigating Passion in Midlife” held in August at the Canoe Place Inn and Cottages in Hampton Bays: “If you can talk to your partner, if you can be honest and have a really authentic conversation “Take away the awkwardness…they'll be empathetic and that's hot.

“I was nervous that my new lover would see (my menopause estrogen patches).
“I went into the bathroom right before it started and was there (scrubbing it off) and then came back out.”
“And my beautiful partner said, “Are you okay?” Is everything ok?”
Naomi went through menopause in her 30s and continued to praise Billy for knowing “how to behave” as she brought “honesty into the room even though it felt uncomfortable and hard” to talk about the impact of her condition.
She said: “He knew which clues to follow. “He was 100 percent sensitive and I can safely say we had really great sex that night.”
Naomi also said it was important for her to continue to embrace her current stage of life and acknowledge that “a lot of women at this age are horny.”
When Naomi was asked at the event what her favorite sex position was, she replied: “Up, down! I'm not picky at the moment.”
