Firstly Viciouscircle I wouldn't have posted the message if my source hadn't been reliable. I take unbrage at your tone.

I also remember some mention of this possibilty prior to Christmas, does anyone else recall this?

Over here we don't hold stars in awe quite the way you do in the States, the industry is smaller everyone knows everyone and we can recall when they (Kidman, Jackman, Griffiths, Crowe, Blanchett, Pearce,Ledger etc) were just jobbing actors in local television, film and stage productions. When these people come back home they just blend back into their old surrounds. Sure people will recognise them, but rarely is a fuss made of them and not too many people would be chasing them for autographs/photos etc. Of course if they were sports heroes it would be a different story. I work in the industry and my source is in the industry so I take it as pretty damn reliable. It's up to you if you wish to believe it or not. Updated On: 1/13/04 at 09:11 PM

Man, if it was true, it is a bad idea. I stongly believe that Ms. Kidman's slight, wispy voice diminished Moulin Rouge, and to suggest she has the voice for Ulla is a sick joke. One of Ulla's comic charms is that that big, belty voice. Nicole Kidman does NOT have that voice, no matter how much anyone wishes she did.

But alterego, does that mean that the Australian film industry is incapable of bull****ting ones co-workers?

Hollywood SPECIALIZES in that.

I think some of us owe alterego an apology!

"There is not a chance in hell this bit of casting will happen. "

Read playbill and then eat humble pie.

The rumour looks to be correct.

Hmmm. Well either way the original movie with Zero and Gene will still be around.

When she steps before the cameras is when I will eat any humble pie, lee.

The film is not set to shoot for at least another year.

There is still PLENTY of time for her to be replaced by someone more appropriate to the role.

And something tells me she will be.

Lol. Dig.. dig.. dig..

I agree that that might happen, Master. Nicole has dropped out of projects before.

[MasterLcZ]

Cheers, Namo. Thanks a lot.

This thread just amuses me so much because "alterego" was right the whole time and now all these other non-believer posters feel quite dumb and are trying to make up for it by saying "Oh she'll probably drop out of the project anyway." Riiigggghhtt, you keep on telling yourself that.

I think it's pretty neat to have inside information from time to time leaked on this message board because some of it might just turn out true before the press gets their hands on it.

I'm sorry, but I think she'll be great as Ulla. Flaunt it, Nicole, flaunt it!

I'd like to see Nicole as Ulla ( who knows, she might give us a different take on the role that could be equally hilarious)... Then maybe, with her star power, other stage musicals would have better chances of becoming movies.

I say cool, too. The only thing she doesn't quite have is the belt--but maybe (obviously) that will all work out fine.

[alterego]

Posted: 1/22/04 at 9:29pm

And to think some of you didn't believe me. My source was pretty good otherwise I'd not have let you in on it.

I'll just warm up that oven for your pie MasterLcZ. lol.

[ChrisLovesShows]

Well, we certainly have to give it to alterego for scooping everyone. However, I think it will be awful. SHE CAN'T SING, PEOPLE!

[bestofbroadway]

Posted: 1/22/04 at 10:22pm

Maybe it's just me but I could see Jane Krakowski in this role.

[MasterLcZ]

Posted: 1/22/04 at 10:31pm

Don't light the oven, just yet, alter dear.

If Matthew has any say in it, she won't make the film.

[alterego]

Posted: 1/23/04 at 6:40am

Nicole can and will do it. So far she is the only real big "movie" star in it. I think they will be looking for others to fill some of the lesser roles, even as cameo's. Much as we love them, the Broadway principals (no not Nathan and Mathew) aren't going fill cinemas the world over. With as much at stake ($$$$) they won't chance the whole project on
unknowns. MasterLcz why so bitter?

rclocalz, thanks for the kind words!

What about Robin Williams for Carmen? Birdcage reunion!
