Riedel is so clueless about Kidman. If you take a look at her filmography, she has worked with pretty much every significant auteur of the past 20 years or more, I mean, she was handpicked by Stanley Kubrick for goodness' sake and developed an incredible bond with him. She's not a "well-regarded actress," she's one of the best actresses of her generation. There's actual academic books written by prominent scholars dedicated to her body of work. The idea that people expect her to be some sort of sexspot just shows how out of tune with reality Riedel is </end of rant>.
Anyway, I'll buy tickets the second this is announced. I was worried she would end up not doing this just like she ended up not doing SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH. I was too young when THE BLUE ROOM played, but I'll definitely make sure not to miss her this time around. I bet she'll be magnificent.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
