Kidman has been attached from the beginning. If I'm correct, it's her company that's financing the film.

Ugh. I'm sorry, but she is just so blah.

Maybe they can get some animatronic doodads to get her face muscles moving again.

Blegh. Not a fan. I know they wanted a name and it's her company producing it and blah blah blah, but... really? She's the best they could do?

It's not whether she is the best "they" could do, given that she herself is producing the film, the whole reason there is gonna be a film is because she decided to finance it and play the role.
I used to love Nicole Kidman, somehow after she won the Oscar she decided to star in the worst movies she could possibly make. I trust that somewhere behind all the plastic surgery, the wonderful actress she can be remains.

But... I don't think she can cry anymore without looking like she's melting.

Totally excited about the film...not loving the casting of Kidman. I can think of 100 other more organic actresses who should have the part....Toni Collette, anyone?

Ugh, will they stop casting her in things! Yuck.

John Cameron Mitchell directing is very good news though!

I completely agree, Borstalboy. Her face hasn't moved in years. It's distracting! I used to find her a pretty good actress (ie: To Die For, My Life, a couple others) but lately I can't watch anything with her in it without thinking 'that's Nicole Kidman phoning in the same boring performance.'

Everyone has his or her own opinion about Kidman, but what about Eckhart? Does anyone have an opinion about that casting? He's the reason I made this thread.

It might not even happen.

The article says he's "in negotations" to star.

Remember when Eden Espinosa was "in negotiations" to star in Hair?
