Nicole Kidman in The Producers Movie.

Wasn't this announced like a month ago?

Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane aren't huge stars in Britain/Europe, which is why I imagine they've bumpfed her in.

As much as I love Nicole Kidman....I don't see her being able to being able to handle "When You've Got It...".

I'm sorry, but I think Cady Huffman was amazing in that role. Her voice blew me away and continues to do so when I listen to the cast recording.

Unless Ms. Kidman starts some HEAVY vocal training to prepare for this role....I don't think it'll work, especially to those of us who saw Cady perform and heard for ourselves how much she totally NAILED it.

Nicole Kidman is not buxom enough & SJP under no circumstances

Yes - I saw Sarah Jessica Parker on TV last night and thought she would be good.. if she can sing. Plus it would add the coup of having SJP and MB.

"(flatter then a pancake!)"

Nice one, Corine. Very nice. It's a shame no one can be as perfect as youuuu.

PJ I wish i was as beautiful as Nicole Kidman. She is stunning.
I am not in her league but the role is for a big breasted woman.
PJ it was not an insult.
Believe me i wish i looked like her.
I am hardly perfect and i never said i was.
Kerry Butler is a beauty.
I guess it does not matter if the role is volptuous because Nicole is beautiful, seductive and a talented actress.
Although i see Catherine Zeta Jones in the role if she was blond.

I am having blond envy again.
Lol.

And who was it that told you about this casting a couple of weeks before it was announced back in January? Me!

She'll be fine, she's tall, leggy, can sing, and of course they'll pad her up. As for the rest (belt etc) that's what they have rehearsals for. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they have a few 'names' appearing in cameo's. As Hitlers perhaps?

What is interesting is that they are announcing that it will open in December 2005. Surely this will cut into the life of productions outside of the US. Melbourne opens in April 2004, London September 2004, Germany 2005 etc. and so forth. Now before everyone jumps down my throat and says , 'what about Chicago?' The revival (of Chicago) had already played throughout Europe, Asia and Australia when the movie opened. I would think that it will be the end for the Broadway production, I mean, give the choice of seeing the originators in the roles (at a much cheaper price) or some of the less than 'starry' names that have followed the dynamic duo into The Producers who would you choose?

You haters should really leave Nicole alone. She's only one of the best actresses working now. Don't agree? See the following films:

To Die For
The Others
Moulin Rouge
Eyes Wide Shut
The Human Stain

Each performance is just as unique as the one before it.

I, too, think Nicole is a fine choice. She is certainly gorgeous enough. They can always pad her bra. Not a huge deal.

I was kind of hoping that Charlize Theron could sing -- because I picture her in that role. Nicole, if she does it, will be just terrific, I'm sure. Now, if they went with Mrs. Banderas, for example, THEN I'd put up a stink.

I'm surprised so many people are raving about Cady Huffman in that role. I saw her do it a couple of times, and I feel that dozens of actresses could have done it just as well if not better. In fact, hers is the only song on the CD that I regularly skip. Her belt is so jarring to the senses. She's one lucky Tony winner, in that she was part of the juggernaut that was THE PRODUCERS. (Kathleen Freeman should have won for THE FULL MONTY.)

To give Ms. Huffman credit, she was great in WILL ROGERS FOLLIES and on its recording.

I honestly cant think of anyone physically better to play Ulla than Nicole...now can she act the part...there's the question.
