As a seasoned film enthusiast with a penchant for discerning the motivations behind an actor’s choices, I find Nicole Kidman‘s approach to her craft both intriguing and commendable. Her career trajectory spans across various genres, from indie films to blockbusters, which often leaves many perplexed. However, it’s clear that for Kidman, it’s never just about the paycheck – it’s about the experiences she gains along the way.
In a recent chat with L’Officiel, Nicole Kidman clarified that her decision to join big-budget Hollywood productions like the “Aquaman” series or “Batman Forever” from 1995 isn’t merely about the paycheck. As an Academy Award winner known for her roles in independent films and dramas, she often faces questions regarding her choices to star in such high-profile movies.
“Nicole Kidman shared how people often questioned her role in ‘Batman Forever’ as Dr. Chase Meridian. She replied with a laugh, ‘Because I get to kiss Batman!’ People don’t always grasp this, but it’s not just about the money. The major blockbusters I take on are usually unique in some way.”
When Nicole Kidman agreed to play Queen Atlanna in “Aquaman,” as well as in its sequel “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” people often asked if she was an avid fan of the “Aquaman” comic books. However, it wasn’t her love for those comics that drew her in, but rather her admiration for director James Wan and his work in horror films. Essentially, she joined the project due to her appreciation for him. Intriguingly, Kidman was thrilled when he contacted her about the role because initially, she believed it was for a horror movie.
“I’d really wanted to work with him in horror,” Kidman said.
Over the past few years, Kidman’s television roles have garnered as much recognition as her film performances. Her Emmy-winning portrayal on HBO’s “Big Little Lies” was merely the beginning of a successful TV career that encompasses shows like “The Undoing,” “Expats,” “Nine Perfect Strangers,” and an upcoming Netflix limited series titled “The Perfect Couple.”
In an interview with L’Officiel, Kidman expressed her fondness for the long format, appreciating its development of characters and constraints. According to her, it doesn’t require a large investment of time, yet maintains a cinematic quality. It’s more like a gradual build-up compared to films, where you have just two hours to narrate your story and create a character.
“The Perfect Couple” streams Sept. 5 on Netflix.
