Kidman would be miscast in the part, really. Desiree she ain't. Though obviously I'd still see it and maybe she would even surprise me, I don't doubt she'd be good but the best choice for the role? No.
I've heard other names that I'm much more excited about, and it really is a pity that Laura Linney's name seems to just not be in the running at all. She would have been marvelous.
