I agree, her take on the role should bring something interesting to the film.

Watch the trailer for THE STEPFORD WIVES. NK looks like she is auditioning for Ulla. She's going to be a wonderful Ulla!!

U think that was all Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovitch? Same for Nicole. Major "cutlets" time & padding to give her a "tush". BUT she def has the legs & did have some dance/movement training orig. so I think she will work out well. She was very comedic as the self absorbed weather woman in "To Die For"

Actually this was announced MONTHS and MONTHS ago...not just a month ago. Yes, it's been discussed to death on this and other boards. Do a search on the topic and you'll find every opinion from 'hurray' to 'BLECH'...mine would be the latter.

Nicole is great! and plus her star power is more than Matthew's and Nathan's put together...she is more well known at the moment!

Count my vote for the latter, too, Sam!

I don't think Nicole Kidman is a great singer for the role, but I think she'll be able to act it out well.

Nicole is my fav actress, however I'm worried. Shes not nearly curvy enough. She is downright frail. I seriously could snap her in half. I think shes gorgeous, but I wish they'd have kept Ulla more curvacious. I'm sure they'll pad her up, but there are so many actresses out there who actually are curvy and could do the role just as well. Maybe even better. I think she'll act it wonderfully, but can she belt? She is an alright singer, but why not get someone amazing! Then again I trust old Mel. I guess we'll have to wait and see. In the meantime I'll just focus on worrying about POTO.

I think she'll be great. I wish they'd have given it to Cady Huffman, but....she's not a big enough 'name'.....which I think is absurd. It's a shame that talent takes a back seat to fame in this day and age.

Call me crazy, but I'm just really glad they cast a tall girl in the part. As one myself, I may be a little biased, but I would have felt a little cheated if they would have taken one of the few parts that a tall girl could actually play and given it to a short person. I was glad she took the role, and I think that with some vocal training and dance lessons, she'll be pretty good.

Ulla is always played by a tall actress.

This is why I come to brodwaywrold.com..for this kind of breaking news.

In related information, Michael Crawford has been cast in the lead in a musical about a phantom in some opera house.

I give this one a month run.

I hear Robert Goulet is doing 'Camelot' -- oh wait...that's true, huh?

I think the casting of Nicole Kidman (and Will Ferrell) are brilliant ideas. They are both amazingly funny performers, and I don't think that Mel Brooks would do anything stupid. He's a smart man.

Wait! Kidman is an 'amazingly funny performer'? What have I missed?

"I don't think that Mel Brooks would do anything stupid. He's a smart man."

You must have forgotten WHEN THINGS WERE ROTTEN.

Eddie...DEAR, DEAR Eddie...as much as I love you...I have to disagree. Her taken on the film isn't really needed to make the film interesting but even if a different take might add something interesting to the film (and it might) I don't believe she is the one to provide it. She is not a good comedienne and she can't sing well enough to BELT...AND she is a stick (not a curvaceous young woman as the part calls for) so will she be wearing a 'fat suit' throughout the filming?

Sorry, Nicole is overexposed at this point and I am a bit tired of her being in every film made, much less in this film. If we wanted to do some stunt casting and weren't terribly worried about a good singing voice, we might have considered Reese Witherspoon or WITH VOICE Faith Hill. Sorry, Nicole just doesn't do it for me but then Mel never did listen to my opinion :)

Amen to that, Sam. This struck me as blatant stunt casting the first time I heard about it and the thought hasn't gotten any better since then.

Nathan, Matthew, Mel, and a whole boatload of Tony's (with their accompanying press coverage) is more than enough 'name' to bring them into the movie theater. This casting just looks lousy any way you put it.

I've enjoyed Nicole's work in films for the most part, but like you I'm getting awfully tired of seeing her every time I turn around.

I too love Nicole...but she is simply not curvaceous enough. She is thin and looks more like a model than a sex kitten or blonde bombshell
