Actress Thandie Newton is going to step away from the camera so she can try her hand at writing screenplays.
The Crash star is following in the footsteps of her writer husband, Ol Parker, by putting pen to paper for her first big-screen project.
Newton insists she could be tempted to become a full-time writer because the work schedule suits her busy lifestyle as a mum to her two young daughters, Ripley and Nico.
The actress said of her first movie: “It’s a comedy feature film. It’s been really nice to do that: be at home, be around the kids. It’s just a really nice lifestyle, I’ve been doing other, smaller jobs to supplement it and so on.”
She added: “Now I see why Ol’s been doing it for so long – it’s absolutely great.”
