		<description><![CDATA[Nicole Kidman has joined her great friend Naomi Watts in Woody Allen's next picture according to Variety. It's the first time the pair have worked together in a significant capacity (Watts very briefly appeared in Kidman's 1991 comedy Flirting).

The pair were set to make Need, a thriller at Paramount for Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy but for whatever reason, nothing has come of it yet. 



The still yet untitled Woody Allen London set drama has possibly his most impressive cast to date. Alongside Kidman and Watts are Anthony Hopkins, Josh Brolin, Antonio Banderas and Freida Pinto. 

What's so great about Woody Allen, is that whilst your getting excited for him to start working on one movie, you know he must have another ready to be unleashed upon us. On June 6th in the U.S. (we won't get it till February most likely) released will be Whatever Works, his movie with Larry David which Rope of Silicon have an extensive photo gallery.

Has Allen got any more big names up his sleeve for this movie? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Epic in scope but pitifully small-minded, Baz Luhrmann's AUSTRALIA wants to cast the same romantic spell over viewers that films like GONE WITH THE WIND or TITANIC have in the past, but the film it most readily recalls is Michael Bay's PEARL HARBOUR. Like Bay, Luhrmann is a director who obsesses over stunning images but who has no idea how to assemble those images in a way that's coherent or satisfying. He simply hurls everything he's got at the screen with a feverish intensity, swamping his film with glossy visuals, but his pictures have no depth beyond what we see on the screen. They are exhaustingly shallow, particularly when Luhrmann takes over two and a half hours to tell his story, as he does with this ridiculously overcooked national epic.


AUSTRALIA'S biggest failing is the way Luhrmann squeezes in enough content for three or four films while barely managing to generate enough drama for one. At its core, the film is a very old-fashioned love story, with two people from different classes and opposite sides of the globe falling for each other, as seismic historical events gradually creep up behind them. Lady Sarah Ashley (Nicole Kidman) is the prim, uptight Englishwoman ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There have been mixed opinions surrounding this film. A huge, lengthy, effects-laden and cliche-riddled extravaganza that is sumptuous to look at as it is pointless to think about. Baz Luhrmann's film is a ridiculous amalgamation of several (very unoriginal) plots and genres that tangle incoherently in this sweeping 'epic'. Perhaps the most telling signs that it isn't going to be the most cohesive film are the tags attached to it by imdb. Whilst not something I'd like to rely on to judge films generally, when the genre tags say 'Adventure &#124; Drama &#124; War &#124; Western' you know all is not well.

Starting out as a drama about an English noblewoman who sets out to Australia to organise her husband's business affairs only to find him dead, the film evolves into a strange outback comedy, before becoming a love story, and then ending up as a war epic.



It seems like a lot of the budget was spent on scenery. The grand canvases of the raw outback and the fiery destruction of the Japanese warplanes were all completed with intricate detail. However, they completely undermined their own goals by being so obviously computer-generated that they looked like those crappy desktop backgrounds from ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Guardian report that 20th Century Fox have forced Baz Lurhmann to change the ending to his soon to be released $120 million epic AUSTRALIA after "intense discussions" resulted in a more commercial friendly ending being shot.

It would seem audiences at test screenings weren't happy with the ending Luhrmann originally intended.



I won't spoil details about it for you but if you visit the news source at the above link, you can find out for yourself what the issue was.

Rope of Silicon spoke "at length" with a rep for Fox yesterday who it's suggested that indeed the ending was changed but it was Luhrmann who instigated it.
Baz Luhrmann is a "final cut" director and the studio has always been supportive of his choices.
Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman star in the movie which has used CASABLANCA style imagery to promote this as being a love story on epic proportions. New poster from ROS...



The movie opens Nov. 26th in the U.S. and Dec. 26th in the U.K. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Weinsteins have sent out a press release across the web celebrating the fact that Rob Marshall's (CHICAGO) massive ensemble musical NINE has finally begun filming after many delays.

They have also released a press shot from the filming which just reminds us what an amazing and beautiful cast they have put together for this movie which is a remake of Fellini's 8 1/2... the story of a world famous director who struggle to prepare his latest picture while balancing the women in his life (wife, mistress, movie star muse, costume designer, fashion journalist, whore from childhood and his mother!).



Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Marillon Cotillard, Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson and Kate Hudson... who would say no to being locked in a room with those beauties? Also in the image are Judi Dench and Sophia Loren! What a cast of acting heavyweights

Not pictured but making up the nine, is two time Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis in his first movie post-THERE WILL BE BLOOD. He plays the director!

Thankfully, we haven't had to wait years to see him work again like we did when he won the same award for GANGS OF NEW YORK.

The film is being shot in England at Shepperton Studios, and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Incredibly pretty actresses' making themselves look rather ugly for certain dramatic roles has always helped critics praise their work who can now see past their beauty and as if by magic, for the first time notice how good of a performer they really are.

Strangely, it also helps when they turn lesbian!

It worked for an Oscar win for Nicole Kidman on THE HOURS (lesbo with a funny nose). It also worked for an Oscar win for Charlize Theron in MONSTER (lesbo, who goes 100% make-over ugly!), both their respective career highlights. Now both actresses' are to work together for the first time on THE DANISH GIRL and it's Nicole that gets the controversial physical role, playing the world's first Post-Op Transsexual, Theron plays his/her wife.

It's the true story of Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener whose portraits became popular in the 1920's. Greta (Theron) encouraged Einar (Kidman) to adopt a female guise for one shoot but Einar loved the look and feeling so much she took the landmark operation to become the word's first Post-Op Transsexual in 1931 that shocked both the world and their marriage to the core.

Presumably, a male lead will be needed to play Einar pre-op.

		<description><![CDATA[Two entirely different projects are making the news rounds today, both similar in that they are INDIANA JONES style-movies.

First, The Hollywood Reporter say that Nicole Kidman has been tapped up to star in THE FOURTH KINGDOM, an action/adventure archaeological discovery movie from Simon Kingberg who last writing credit was on the global spanding JUMPER.

The movie is intented to do for "treasure hunt movies" what the Bourne films did to Bond... i.e. a more intelligent, very character driven and less cliche movie in the genre.



The other movie then is a project that Jason Statham mentioned to Empire, where a project called THE GRABBERS is being set up as an unofficial remake of the classic Humphrey Bogart and John Huston 1948 movie THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE...
“We’ve got a movie we’re trying to do, written by David and Janet Peoples, in the vein of an old film, The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre... It’s not a remake or anything,” clarified The Stath. “But it’s a little bit like that – about relationships and how greed contaminates the relationships these three people have. The working title is The Grabbers.”
David Peoples is one of the co-adapters on BLADE RUNNER and wrote Clint Eastwood's ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 2001 Australian director Baz Luhrmann brought the musical back to the big screen with spectacular sparkle by unleashing the magnificent Moulin Rouge! on unsuspecting cinema audiences. Embedding a heartstring-tugging story with stunning visual style and song-and-dance numbers, Baz’s biggest hit so far is a bravura blast of experimental filmmaking that presents turn-of-the-century Paris through a postmodern pop-tinged filter.


The scene where Ewan McGregor’s penniless writer Christian captivates Nicole Kidman’s kinky courtesan Satine is one such sequence that creatively brings together Luhrmann’s offbeat ideas. Taking the two protagonists and placing them on the top of the elephant tower in the grounds of the infamous Montmartre nightclub, Satine and Christian embark on their passionate love affair by singing a more cinematic version of Elton John’s “Your Song”

The “Your Song” sequence shows that not only do McGregor and Kidman have believable chemistry but that they can also hold a tune - all the while expressing the joie de vivre that serves as the very essence of the film. As with the rest of the movie it’s pleasing on both eye and ear and bursts with life and exuberant flamboyance. Moulin Rouge! carries its credo of “freedom, beauty, truth and love” through to the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It very nearly happened on Australia for director Baz Luhrmann but Crowe eventually walked out saying "I don't do charity work" when his usual $20 million+ was not forthcoming.
Luhrmann soon went out and hired Hugh Jackman for the film (due out at the end of the year) and the Crowe/Kidman partnership never saw fruition.

Now word has come from MTV that director Doug Liman (Jumper, Mr. &#38; Mrs. Smith) wants to cast Russell Crowe in his upcoming dramatic biopic of Valerie Plame which currently has Kidman down for the lead role.

Plame was a former a CIA officer who worked for the government for twenty years but had to retire in December 2005 when her identity was outed by an American journalist two and a half years prior.

Liman says he would love to hire Crowe to play the part of New York Times reporter Joe Wilson, the man who wrote the infamous piece "What I didn't find in Africa", a scatching attack on the Bush administration...
“I’d love Russell Crowe,” director Doug Liman enthused. “If you’ve met Joe, he’s a really strong guy. I’ve never met an actor stronger than Russell Crowe.”

“It’s the Valerie Plame story but you wouldn’t know it when Joe’s ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unsurprisingly epic, with heavy emphasis on character, visuals, set designs and music (did I hear a little of Morricone's score from The Good, The Bad &#38; The Ugly in there?).

It's the trailer for Australia, the long awaited return to the big screen of Baz Lurhmann (Romeo &#38; Juliet, Moulin Rouge) and stars Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman in a romantic action-adventure flick set during the northern area of the country during World War II.

It centers on the story of an English aristocrat (Kidman) who joins forcer with a cattle driver (Jackman) to drive her 2,000 heard of cattle across the country's unforgiving land whilst it's being bombed by the same Japanese forces who attacked Pearl Harbour some months prior.

Looking pretty good, I can't honestly say I'm sold on this film yet but I did enjoy the trailer. From what I've heard the movie is nearly all a two actor show, so it's a real challenge for Kidman and Jackson to keep our interest for what will no doubt be a very long movie.

VISIT AUSTRALIA IN HD HERE!
This one opens in November and will no doubt have some heavy Oscar hopes next year. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nicole Kidman's best performance of her career was her Oscar winning turn in The Hours six years ago and it's unsurprising to me that today the news has leaked of a possible reunion between Kidman and the film's writer Michael Cunningham.

Cunningham has told the New York Mag that his Fox 2000 biopic of 60's British pop icon Dusty Springfield that he is currently writing will star Kidman in the lead role.



"She was a great artist who no one knew what to do with," Cunningham said. "She was coming into her full powers at the same time the Beatles were," he said, adding that she suddenly found herself the purveyor of a dying torchy genre. "But she is clearly going into history with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones."
Cunningham said the film would include the lonely years in exile from the U.K. in Hollywood, the drinking and the drugging, and the tortured bisexual/lesbian feelings that wove through her checkered career, which ended when she died of cancer in 1999.

Of course one could easily say OSCAR HUNT for Kidman because we all know biopics are the Academy's darling genre but to be fair she has very much chosen to do whatever projects ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you name a movie after a country the size of Australia - then you better damn well make sure your film is epic as hell.

Thankfully Baz Luhrmann is one of the kings of epics. His productions (too big to be called just films) of Romeo &#38; Juliet and especially Moulin Rouge were marvellous artistic ventures that felt like classical theatre plays that came to life on film.

I expect Australia to be the same. If you were like me and thought Atonement was a vastly over-rated piece of mediocre cinema then keep your eye on this one. It's not due out till November (probably December UK) but I'm pretty excited. I would take Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman over James McAvoy and Kiera Knightley any day of the week.

		<description><![CDATA[Nicole Kidman's rare performance where I thought she was absolutely sensational was Baz Luhrmann's movie Moulin Rouge and according to The Hollywood Reporter she will be looking to replicate that kind of success for Nine, Rob Marshall's adaptation of the Tony-Award winning musical based upon the famous Fellini movie 8 1/2.

The trades say Kidman and British vet Judi Dench are in final talks to join the movie which is slated for a September start. Originally it was due to film in March but with the WGA strike and the failing health of the now late Anthony Minghella (he was doing re-drafts late last year) that became impossible and it had to be pushed back.
Javier Bardem leads the film as a film director who must juggle the lives of various women in his busy and stressful life. Penelope Cruz, Marillon Cotillard and Sophia Loren will play three of the women and if Kidman joins that will be four.
Marshall was the director who brought us the 2002 musical adaptation of Chicago and also Memoirs of a Geisha. I know nothing of the play except for the fact that I hope it's different enough in tone to the film because if it's not, ...]]></description>

[rating: 2.5]

Margot at the Wedding is the latest film from Noah Baumbach - the man who brought us The Squid and the Whale and frequently collaborated to great effect with Wes Anderson (bring on The Fantastic Mr. Fox!). In this outing he continues to address his (and Anderson's) favourite topic of family dysfunction, though here he attempts to broaden the scope of The Squid and the Whale and encompass a couple of generations to depict the immediate affect of the actions of parents on their children, and also the long-lasting traumas of family conflict. Sound uncomfortable? It really really is.

The quirkiness played upon with Wes Anderson is sadly absent here, and we are left with an unrelenting attack of pschoanalytic neuroses, deeply harboured resentment and huge bouts of egotism. We are set up with the anticipation of the wedding of Pauline (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and Malcolm (Jack Black), which has sparked a visit from Pauline's estranged sister Margot (Nicole Kidman) and her son  Claude (Zane Pais) in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nicole Kidman has been cast as outed C.I.A. agent Valerie Plame in the movie biopic of her life setup at Warner Brothers.

Doug Liman (JUMPER) is set to helm. He told MTV that he is delighted to finally get the chance to work with the Australian actress after she was originally cast in his movie MR. AND MRS. SMITH before later dropping out...
“She’s perfect if you’ve ever met Valerie. Nicole was supposed to play Jane Smith in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith.’ We owe a movie together! That’s an unrequited thing between me and an actor where I fell in love with them for a role and never get to consummate it.”
He goes on...
“I have a really, really insane take on how to tell it. It’s so outrageous,” Liman enthused. “Ultimately, I’d be doing something no one has ever done before. Therefore it’s automatically appealing to me. I’m just starting to explore whether [what I have in mind] is even possible to do.”
Valerie Plame was a former a CIA officer who worked for the government for twenty years but had to retire in December 2005 when her identity was outed by an American journalist two and a half years prior.

Review by Michael Edwards

[rating: 2.5]

Now I know this is a somewhat belated review, what with the film having been out for two weeks now, but I have to say it is that which has inspired me to put something up about this film. Why that is will hopefully become clear...

For those of you who have been hiding away somewhere reclusive for the past few weeks, perhaps avoiding the consumer-driven festivities of the season or simply escaping the icy harshness of winter in sunnier climes, The Golden Compass is one of the big-billed Christmas blockbusters and is based on the first installment of novelist Phillip Pullman's widely acclaimed and much-loved His Dark Materials trilogy. The tale is set in a parallel universe where our souls are physically separate from us and embodied in animal-shaped 'daemons' which stay ...]]></description>
