Kidman plans to take a well-deserved break after promoting her next film "Holland" and the second season of the TV show "Nine Perfect Strangers."
Hollywood star Nicole Kidman plans to take a break from acting later this year after having a very busy schedule in 2024.
In 2024 alone, the Oscar winner starred in three movies - "A Family Affair," "Spellbound" and "Babygirl" - and three TV series - "The Perfect Couple," "Expats" and season two of "Lioness."
After having such a prolific year, Kidman intends to take a well-deserved break after promoting her next film "Holland" and the second season of the TV show "Nine Perfect Strangers."
"(This year) is actually not that crazy. Last year I was out a lot more; this year I've got 'Holland,' I've got 'Nine Perfect Strangers,' and then I'm taking the rest of the year off. So, oh well!" she told The Hollywood Reporter at the film's premiere at SXSW in Texas on March 9.
In the new thriller, the Australian actress plays a teacher and housewife in the small town of Holland, Michigan, who becomes paranoid that her husband, played by Matthew McFadden, is leading a double life.
During an interview with Variety, director Mimi Cave shared how Kidman used her "really sharp" instincts as a producer in pre- and post-production and backed off during filming.
"Before filming she got involved, not in a heavy-handed way, but in a way that was meticulously surgical, looking at what could be useful in the script. As an actress, she's very interested in what the director wants, so the moment we start shooting, she steps back from being a producer and really lets herself be involved in the actual role. You get lightning in a bottle. She has to stay available, spiritually, physically, emotionally, to play the character," she explained. | BGNES
