Australian stars Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts are re-teaming for the first time since they starred in the film Flirting in 1991.

The pair have been friends for nearly two decades and are set to star in the sexy thriller Need.

Nip/tuck creator Ryan Murphy is directing the film, which sees Watts playing a psychiatrist, with Kidman as the unstable patient who steals her husband.

The film is set to begin shooting in late autumn (2007).
