Let the casting speculations begin... Kidman? Perhaps. Streep? Probably too old. If they go for a name, I'm pretty clueless.

Posted: 12/2/10 at 4:10pmThe first person I thought of was Nicole Kidman. She's be fantastic.

Posted: 12/2/10 at 4:14pmI could see the movie opening with Dr. Madden in a dark, ominous office staring at Diana's file on his desk. When he finally opens it, the prelude starts to play and then flashback to Gabe coming home late. And then the movie begins... :)

Posted: 12/2/10 at 4:20pmI think it'd work beautifully, if done right. It's all going to come down to their Diana and director. Not sure if Reiner wants to director or just produce...

Posted: 12/2/10 at 4:20pmTheaterfan4, I think you most definitely can consider Reiner a leading Hollywood player. He's made some major films.

This might be a little too close to RABBIT HOLE for Kidman to take on right away.
How about Winslet?
Toni Collette would be perfect, if she were more box office.

Son, brilliant to think of Collette! But you're right, probably not enough.
I personally think Winslet is too young... and too bland...

Posted: 12/2/10 at 4:46pmI'd love to see Winslet do this.

Posted: 12/2/10 at 5:13pmI think this would be great with the right cast. The only "problem" I can think of is it'd lack the dynamic set of the musical. It seems like it wouldn't have the same effect without the tiers. Since some of the scenes have multiple places happening at the same time.. But I believe the right director could make it work.

Posted: 12/2/10 at 5:15pmWinslet is definitely not too young. The character is about 38 - Winslet is 36 and has recently played the mother of Evan Rachel Wood in MILDRED PIERCE!

I find this to be a pretty great list of accomplishments. While Rob is a major Hollywood player he has always struck me as someone who took care in his projects rather than just doing something for vanity's sake. I would think N2N would be in good hands with him

Posted: 12/2/10 at 5:25pmKidman's too cold and one-dimensional for my taste. How about Julianne Moore?

A name that is not box office but is Oscar nominated (and can actually sing) is Vera Farmiga.

No. No no no no no... (sorry, I was channeling a Republican there for a moment)
Really, there are just some shows that should *not* be made into films. COLORED GIRLS was one, and I'd bet that no matter who helms it, N2N will suffer the same fate. The director will want to make it "real" and "natural", and all of the vision and style will go right down the crapper.
No. You want to do a film? Make a movie of the original production. Throw in close ups as much as you like, but preserve it as a stage work and keep that artificiality that is so important to it.

Even if she was, Hollywood makeup does wonders these days!

Posted: 12/2/10 at 6:35pmDo you think they'd cast a different actor for each doctor?

Please keep Kidman far way from this property. I cant handle her whisper-singing. She does not have the auto-tuned range for this.
I think Madonna could do amazing with this and I know she is interested.
