Naomi Watts joined her costars Xavier Samuel and James Frecheville to premiere their movie, Two Mothers, at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday evening. It's the first big weekend of Sundance, which officially kicked off in chilly Park City, UT, on Thursday. Naomi also acts alongside Robin Wright in the movie, which is already causing controversy. Two Mothers is about a pair of women, played by Naomi and Robin, who have affairs with each other's teenage sons. The independent film festival is a change of pace for Naomi, who has been wrapped up in the glamour and excitement of award season recently. She is nominated for an Oscar for her role in The Impossible and she turned heads with her sexy Golden Globe gown details.

We're on the scene at Sundance, so keep checking back for all the excitement and follow POPSUGAR on Twitter and Instagram for more!

Bikini

Naomi Watts and Robin Wright Hit the Beach in Bikinis

Naomi Watts wore a bikini yesterday to work on The Grandmothers at Seal Beach in Australia.

Naomi Watts wore a bikini yesterday to work on The Grandmothers at Seal Beach in Australia. She was joined by Robin Wright, who was also decked out in a two-piece. Robin and Naomi have spent the past few weeks shooting the movie with director Anne Fontaine, who's making her first foray into English-language filmmaking. The movie's topic has ruffled some feathers, though. Robin and Naomi's characters end up falling in love with each other's sons. The parts of the younger men are played by Australians Xavier Samuel and James Frecheville. Xavier is well known for having a role in the Twilight series, while James starred in the well-regarded Animal Kingdom. Both guys were shirtless for yesterday's stint before the cameras as well.

Xavier Samuel may be best known as Riley in Eclipse, but the Australian actor takes on a new challenge with a part in this month's period piece, Anonymous. The movie explores the mystery behind Shakespeare and happens to costar one of Xavier's Twilight saga cohorts, Jamie Campbell Bower. During our talk, Xavier told a funny story about a case of mistaken identity involving him, his little brother, and Jamie, and also weighed in on what he's looking forward to seeing on screen in Breaking Dawn. He even admitted to playing one of the female characters in A Midsummer's Night Dream during his college days. Check out our interview to hear Xavier's story, and be sure to catch Anonymous when it hits theaters on Oct. 28!

Rhys Ifans, Jamie Campbell Bower, and Xavier Samuel Present Anonymous to the Toronto Crowd

The cast of Anonymous stepped out last night in Toronto for the debut of the Roland Emmerich-helmed film, which hits theaters on Oct.

The cast of Anonymous stepped out last night in Toronto for the debut of the Roland Emmerich-helmed film, which hits theaters on Oct. 28. Rhys Ifans, Jamie Campbell Bower, and Xavier Samuel were on hand, along with their costars Joely Richardson and Rafe Spall, for the world premiere. The period piece explores the story of Shakespeare and questions whether the man from Stratford Upon Avon was the true author of some of the world's most beloved plays and poems. The movie enjoyed a strong reception from the audience last night, and the stars of the film were back to work this a.m. at a press day for the project, where we had the chance to catch up with them. Rhys, who last night admitted to being "vainly moved" by the film, said the strength of the cast made him decide to sign on for the project. Meanwhile, Xavier and Jamie both reminisced with us about their shared experience as part of the Twilight Saga. Xavier said he's most looking forward to seeing the birth scene in Breaking Dawn and also told us a funny story about his brother being mistaken for Jamie during a trip they took to Berlin together. Xavier said his brother had long hair at the time and that the crowd outside their hotel was convinced he was Jamie, so he signed a few autographs and posed for pictures for a laugh. Meanwhile, Xavier went completely unrecognized, and the next day, the paper ran a picture of the brothers with the caption: "Jamie Campbell Bower and friend."
