Whilst out promoting "Birth", Nicole Kidman talked with our LA correspondent the other day and the subject of her very hectic schedule came up. The full story will be revealed in an interview early next week, for now though, here's a glimpse at what she said about what's up next for the Aussie beauty:
Bewitched Kidman justifies that particular choice in very pragmatic terms - "I just like the story. It's about a woman who can do magic and I've always wanted to do magic," she says smilingly, adding that the nose twitching will definitely be a part of this new take on the classic TV sitcom.
The Producers Kidman confirms her participation in Mel Brook's screen version of his Tony Award-winning The Producers. "That is in the end of April is what they say," and Kidman says she is looking forward "to dance and sing in a Swedish accent. And Will Ferrell is doing it as well."
Eucalyptus Despite published media reports that Kidman has signed on to star with pals Russell Crowe and Geoffrey Rush in the $40m Australian film Eucalyptus, Kidman remains very tight-lipped on that particular subject. "It's still up in the air," yet also admits to looking forward playing her first Australian character since Dead Calm, if it indeed goes ahead. "I don't want to talk about it until it's definite and until then, I never talk about it, as I'm the best secret keeper in the world," she says, smilingly.
Wong Kar-Wei's Next She can confirm is her participation in a new film by renowned Chinese director Wong Kar-Wai. "Yes, that's definite and I'm very excited about that, but I would never be able to tell you anything about that. I've never worked with an Asian director. That's a part of the world where I've never gone. I'll go to Shanghai to do it and I've been meeting with him in New York and we've been talking about it for quite a long time. I may never come back from Shanghai, which is where we'll shoot it. Gong Li's in it. He has a strong sense of where he wants to take me...You're talking about someone like Wong Kar-Wai, who'll make the movie when he wants to make it."
Thanks to 'Paul'.
