Nicole Kidman is a busy busy woman. She has two high profile films coming out this year. “ The Invasion ” a remake of “ Invasion of the Body Snatchers ” for Warner Bros. Pictures, “ Margot at the Wedding ” for Paramount and New *cough* Line’s “ The Golden Compass ” in which she plays the films central villian, which is a nice change of pace for our Nicole. There is a possibility she could be nominated for one or two of these films, depending on how competative the year turns out to be for actresses, and how well the films in general are received.
After a few disappointments, both commercially and critically, it would be nice to see Nicole back on track. She has amazing acting ability, but she does seem to come off as quiet and cold on screen. Even in her warmest moments in “Moulin Rouge” you could still sense the chill in the air. I guess being contractually married to a gay leprechaun for all those years would freeze one up a little. Here is hoping some good ole Australian meat will melt her.
With “Margot at the Wedding” we should see a warmer Nicole emerge playing a mother who takes her son visit her sister over the weekend, in a story about coming to terms with one's family in distress, and oneself. Written by the very talented Noah Baumbach, who knows how to write fully drawn and realised characters.
She also had “Need” coming up where she plays a suicidal patient having an affair with her therapists (Naomi Watts!!) husband. And finally, what everyone is waiting for and chomping at the bit to see, the wonderful and visualistic Baz Luhrmann come back with “Austrailia” with Hugh Jackman (yummmm). Baz directing Hugh and Nicole in an Australian epic….I am there!!The main reason for this post is because Nicole Kidman is going to the altar with 20th Century Fox for a remake of " How to Marry a Millionaire ".
Sacha Gervasi , who wrote Steven Spielberg's "The Terminal," has been tapped to pen the screenplay, which will be a contemporary-set reinterpretation of the Marilyn Monroe classic.
Yet another remake.
See what I mean….fresh out of ideas is ole Hollywood.

Love Nicole, but can see how you would see her as cold, but possible that is the character that she is interested in playing.
'Need' sounds very interesting, especially to see the way the two leads and if they have the chemistry on screen that they have in real life.
