We Don't Live Here Anymore

Naomi Watts, who had been longtime friends with director John Curran, had the choice of lead roles. She declined to play Terry because she had just finished filming "the emotionally draining" 21 Grams (2003). Laura Dern had initial reservations about playing Terry, saying "I was halfway through the script, I thought, 'OK, I've read this before. This is a great part, but the guy has this ogre wife and he's about to get into this affair. They're obviously going to run off together and I'll be this boorish character who ends up alone.'" However, Curran convinced Dern that the character and her relationship with Jack would be more complex.
