Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem as Lucy and Desi? — Page 2

Regardless if others fully agree with Block, I work in the industry. To us it’s more about the fact she’s talking smack makes her look ugly. It’s not what she’s saying, it’s the fact she’s trash-talking that gets noticed.

I’ve seen many actresses be taken off the list of consideration of a project simply because one person didn’t like that actress. Emmy Award winning actresses quickly removed off the list.

I’m hearing many disapproving of Kidman as Lucille Ball. Not one person is sharing their views on social media. You keep that crap to yourself. Geez. Especially when you’re a public figure.

As long as they don't attempt to re-create any classic moments from the actual show, it might not entirely suck. Or are they dumb enough to have Nicole Kidman take a crack at Vitameatavegamin?

This is basically an ad for cowardice. Which also explains something about what's wrong with Hollywood. Block's comments were accurate, it's a comment I've heard frequently made about her, and what do you know, Block was willing to be real rather than play politics. If she is endangering her career for saying what she thinks regardless, I admire her for it.

Any hopes of Block finding work on some major film/TV projects was just killed. Kidman is part of the leading women power players in Hollywood who are pro-women, etc. Block can now keep herself on Broadway. Nice job burning bridges, Block. You think these things, you don’t say them on social media. Even if Kidman doesn’t see her comments directly, others will bring it to her attention."

If this is true, that a woman with a career almost entirely composed offlops is so powerful might be an indicator of what is wrong with Hollywood."

Big Little Lies was a flop? Moulin Rouge was a flop? The Undoing was a flop? The Hours was a flop? The Others was a flop?

Big Little Lies was a flop?

Everyone knows it won every award under the sun and it was ridiculously popular. Even delusional posters know both things are true.

Every Moulin Rouge was a flop?

Ah yes. A flop suddenly means a movie that made 179 million off a 52 million dollar budget (three a half times the budget) is a HUGE FLOP. Like Trump, that sad person lies about things that are debunked in literally three seconds. It's hilarious.

I guess Meryl Streep said “no” to their offer? So they settled for Kidman?

I would really watch this if it was about their life and not Lucy and Ricky. They could include scenes of what it really was like during rehearsals. How the four of them reacted to each other. I just can't see Lucie and Desi Jr allowing a warts and all story about their parents.

Don’t know where you get your info but the film IS about Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz - not the Ricardos. They are using the setting of a week of production of I LOVE LUCY while showing their faltering relationship amongst a Red Scare that occurred during the run of the series.

And yes, the film will show the good, bad and the ugly. Lucie Arnaz has always been open and frank about her parents - their strength and their faults. She’s mentioned this film will show the real sides of who her parents were as real people - not their iconic TV characters.

You've listed a tiny portion of her filmographyin comparison to the number of movies she's made, and she's been in more stinkers than any other big name I can think of.

I thought she was good in The Hours, which I thought was a pretty good movie in general. But to call her track record "spotty" isn't even the half of it."

I'm sorry how was Big Little Lies a flop? It won a bunch of awards, became water cooler talk for the issues it brought up about domestic violence, and Nicole Kidman's performance in particular was praised to the skies."

Didn't last long and thus presumably didn't make a lot of money. That's kinda the definition of "flop"--not around very long, and not financially that effective vs. whatever the cost of production. This is a weird topic to obsess over unless one is Kidman's publicist.
