guys, I think she noticed the issue we're talking about, that's why she quit the role in The Expatriates. BLL & TU & 9PS are in different genres, and TU & 9PS & PT are with different networks. so she's aware. she's keeping the "one year one TV" policy. BLL S1 in 2017, BLL S2 & TU & 9PS & PT in 2019-2022. But isn't that ironic she (probably) drop acting part in not so exciting project but directed by one of the most interesting young director? I remember the first moment of seeing Nicole and Lulu together on photo. It was shortly after announcing Oscar nominations when I was really fed up with Nicole being ignored again. I thought: Oh, she's gonna make a movie with Lulu Wang. Great:) But than it was clarified. Not a movie, but series and now she's probably not appearing in it. Again - contradictions:) Happy she's not doing that but really dissapointed she won't have Lulu Wang on her list of directors she collaborated with.

Totally, this books looks all the same, but sometimes is more easy to adapt average/mediocre books to film or tv. It's very hard to translate a complex/great book into a great movie, I can think about The Goldfinch, to be in Kidman's field. I would love to see her going after more daring/good literature, but it's not every screenwriter that can keep the magic and turn a great book into a satisfying adaptation. What I would love to see Kidman looking for it's a more diverse kind of stories in different genres, doing things like Watchmen, sci fiction, horror. This plotlines from all this books she is working on looks cliche and formulaic. I mean, I never wanted to read BLL, the book seems well done and entertaining, but watching the show from HBO you can assume that the source material it's not complex/robust literature. So, if you have a great director and screenwriter and a good production with great cast there can be magic all over things. What bothers me most in those recent projects it's that the stories looks just the same, in general. I loved Watchmen, I wanted so badly Kidman doing something really different like that. And all those things it's happening in TV, so, a place that she is doing great deals. It's not like we are talking about this kind of stories in movies; but in TV, with so many platforms and money rolling out right now with all the streaming companies. She locked deals with Hulu, Amazon, HBO. So why not bring different projects to them? I understand that with the huge success of BLL they want to repeat the magic maybe, but it's a little bit frustrating. Hope in the near future we can hear good things about different projects, like a period piece - yes watching The Great and loving it, the episode 08 was just PERFECT - or she working with a more bold writer/showrunner. You beautifully lead us to another question:) Why she sticks only to book adaptations? And only these "hot" and "new". She's giving money along with Meryl Streep to that female screenwriters sort of University:) Sorry, don't remember the name of it. I'm sure she could use some of the ideas from these ladies and really elevate some talents. I sort of trust Nicole in "seeing something deeper" in these novels she choose. If she will continue to bring the best out of these books like she did with BLL I'll be fine with it. I think she truly works on that simply by choosing really talented people to collaborate with. I just hope The Undoing will clarify that. I know conventional bestsellers popular in some demographic are easier to make but doing more provocative/fresh/even controversial series wasn't the reason why we are witnessing such a revival of "good television"? Why almost everyone in very different stages of careers are making tv now? Maybe Nicole doesn't have power to bring something fresh/provocative/original by herself in cinema but I think she could clearly do that in tv, especially now after four years of successes. On the other hand, I truly admire her for being now such a bussinesswoman, making deals with HBO/Hulu/Amazon, creating female-centered projects. It's quite impressive and I think she's not receiving enough credit for that. Like for acting talent really:) So again, like many times before it's very complex situation:) Nicole is always full of contradictions just like our reactions towards her career choices:) She used to have really good taste in the past with Blossom's projects... I don't know whats going on with her production choices. But i have to say, she has always been very lucky. Rabbit hole and BLL both had great reviews, Family Fang even if was ignored by everyone. But I keep watching The Undoing trailer and look so awful every time. I don't know if she will replicate the success this time. Gosh I hate that wig. And all reviews of Nine Perfect Stranger are pretty cold. But I can't explain how Melissa McCarty joined the series in a leading role if the story sucks... So much doubts. I will probably give a read of the book on my own.

I dont think there is anything wrong with her production choices so far they have been pretty strong.
I like that she's mixing it up, and yes it does seem like she is buying alot of material that is similar but they're still not in production, sometimes people just buy rights of things that might not eventuate into something, like little bee? Did julia Roberts version go through?

Did julia Roberts version go through? I don't think there's anything wrong with the choices either! I think quite a few of the books I mentioned earlier do have potential in being adapted. I would just love to see her get something more unconventional made for tv, that's all. Maybe now that she has established herself as a successful producer in getting tv shows made on multiple platforms, she will be able to go more outside of the box. Something totally different like Olive Kitteridge, The Great, Fargo, etc. would be fun.

Why would I need a viagra when I can't hook up because of COVID-19? Not that I need one to get laid.
