Last December Nicole Kidman told that her role in Baz Luhrmann’s “Australia” may be her last and that she is not interested in making films any more.
But now she has joined the cast of Woody Allen‘s newest still-untitled film. So, apparently Kidman still is in the game. She will join an impressive cast – Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto (“Slumdog Millionaire”), Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins.
Nicole Kidman To Quit Acting
Nicole Kidman has revealed that her role in Baz Luhrmann‘s new epic movie “Australia” may be her last, for she is not interested in making films any more.
She told the Telegraph:
“I have to say I’m not that interested in making films any more,” she said. “I know I’m not meant to say that, but that’s where it is for me now. I’m 41 years old and very happy being in Tennessee with my baby and with my husband.
I obviously have creative blood in me and it needs to come out in some way but I just don’t have that burning desire any more.”
She added:
“I’m not saying I’m never going to work again, but I’m at peace with whatever happens, which is a nice place to be at this stage of my life.”
The actress had previously hinted that she might quit acting, however, she admitted that she could never completely rule out a return to Hollywood.
It was her role in “Dead Calm” that proved to be her breakthrough role but it was her roles in “Moulin Rouge” and “The Hours” that brought her critical and commerical success, she recievved a Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Virginia Wolf in The Hours. Continue Reading…
“Australia” Premieres in New York
Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman hit the red carpet in New York for the premiere of their epic movie “Australia” on Monday, November 24.
Kidman, 41, looked glamourous in a sequinned gold and black dress when she arrived with her husband, country singer Keith Urban, also 41. But she was booed by waiting crowds when she shunned interviews and instead rushed inside the Ziegfeld Theatre.
“Australia” Reviews
Some early reviews have criticised the length of the “Australia.” At the media conference, Baz Luhrmann said he didn’t expect everyone to like it but was hoping it would become a classic.
“It is between the film and the audience,” he said of the reviews at the press conference, describing the film as an epic in the style of ‘Out of Africa’ or ‘Gone with the Wind.’ I wanted to make a film that everyone could go and see.”
Nicole Kidman said the film’s release should be reason for the whole country to celebrate: “This is a celebration for me and hopefully for this country, she said, It’s not meant to be the second coming, but it is meant to be let’s have fun and enjoy it.”
“Australia” First Review
Australian site Watoday has the first review of highly awaited Baz Luhrmann‘s epic adventure “Australia” which stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman.
“…The anxiously anticipated Australia is not a bad film. But it’s far from a great one, and certainly not one destined to be a classic.
That’s not to say it won’t be popular, possibly wildly so. The film has broad appeal, particularly to the chick-flick market, with its sweeping, overlong melodramatic saga about cattle drives, the stolen generations, the bombing of Darwin and Hugh Jackman’s abs. The story involves a prissy English woman (Nicole Kidman) who, with the help of a stockman known enigmatically as “The Drover” (Jackman), tries saving her troubled cattle station from a greedy cattleman (Bryan Brown) and his evil relative (David Wenham).
Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron Set for “The Danish Girl”
Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron have signed on to star in “The Danish Girl,” film based on the true story of Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener.
Their marriage took a sharp left turn after Einar (Kidman) stood in for an female model that Greta (Theron) was set to paint.
When their portraits become wildly popular in 1920s Copenhagen, Greta encouraged her husband to adopt the female guise. What began as a harmless game led Einer to a drastic transformation and landmark 1931 operation that shocked the world and threatened their love.
“Nine” First And Great Photo
The first and great cast photo of “Nine” has been released – Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Marion Cotillard and Fergie pose alongside Judi Dench and Sophia Loren.
Rob Marshall’s movie is based on the Broadway musical of the same name written by Federico Fellini, Ennio Flaiano. Adapted from the 1982 Tony-winning Broadway musical, “Nine” is set to be helmed by “Chicago” director Rob Marshall. The film actually was set to be tackled by the late writer/director Anthony Minghella and previously scheduled to begin filming in March 2008.
