The director has been a part of 17 films listed on imbd, and the highest score any of them has got is like 6.4. Also, what kind of title is that? Lol. This looks like a complete waste of time to me. Even more so than the Untouchable. I hope she confirms Aquaman, or sth else that people are going to actually pay to see. She's directed 6 films and all have been rated 6.2-6.8 so I guess you could say she's consistent? to be fair, I think she got a few great ideas, just didn't deliver. but she got a great dad, above all.  |

With the pedigree she's got, the name, the access to funds and connections - I'm not impressed with her achievents. And she's not even young. Schumer should've done the Barbie movie written by Diablo Cody. That actually sounds great, if you read the plot. |

I agree. :/ I actually had to IMDb her when her name started being thrown around a while back (how bad am I haha!) - I had no idea of any of her films! :/ I can't really talk given I haven't seen any of her films, but it sounds like she's just riding the coattails of her father a little bit maybe? |

She's a better writer than she is as a film director (as of yet) but she's certainly better than Michael Grandage, Jonathan Teplitzky, Jason Bateman, Billy Ray, Rowan Joffe, Olivier Dahan, and Neil Burger. Maggie's Plan was very well-received. She has won Gotham, Independent Spirits, and Sundance for her earlier works. Her films actually have interesting ideas or themes, it's just a shame that sometimes they fall short. Still, I think it could be a nice change for Nicole, if her role is half as fun as Julianne Moore's in Maggie's Plan. And it's always nice to see Nicole actually working with female directors.

I agree with all of this. Miller has a lot of potential. And Maggie's Plan was great, I haven't seen Julianne be and have so much fun in a role like that before. She's directed 6 films and all have been rated 6.2-6.8 so I guess you could say she's consistent? That fact has nothing to do with anything?  |

I think it's a nice change of pace from her recent films. the comedy heavyweights attached make it intriguing to me.
Also I think it's important for Kidman to support female directors and I'm glad she is in a position to do so now.
Also maybe she can get DDL to star with her on one of her pet projects in the future.

Just meant that for someone who's mid-career and has all those resources, she hasn't got much to show for. I'm not an agesit. Nor a mysoginist. Just a realist. Look at D. Chazele or X. Dolan.

Okay fair. I don't know, she's only made two films in the last ten years, very unlike Chazelle and Dolan. I'm very much willing to give her a chance. And to see Nicole in a lighter, more comedic film that's not Just Go With It is something I am really looking forward to. Steve Carrell and Amy Schumer's careers are both really big right now, so I think right off the bat it has even more going for it than Maggie's Plan did with Greta Gerwig and Ethan Hawke as the leads. The fact that Miller could get Carrell, Schumer, and Kidman on board attests to the script and/or her promise as a director. |

I am actually really excited about this project. I love it when she supports female directors. Also, she sharing the screen with Amy is something I would heve never thought of and I like to be surprised. So count me in.

When people say 'support female directors', I always think that that sounds kind of disrespectful. Why would they need anyone's support or extra care? If they're good they're good, if they're shyte they're shyte. Sofia Coppola can do great stuff (LIT) but Kim Farrant is a complete diletante. I feel very comfortable saying that. |

Female directors are very rarely chosen by studios to direct a green lit script, it's harder for them to finding funding on projects, their films have more difficulty being backed by major studios... Many reasons. There are a lot of articles about this issue online. It is important for people in the position Nicole is in to work with female directors. To give them a chance. |

as long as Aquaman stands,I'm OK with this or anything replacement.
I'm not asking Nic do things Charlize is doing lately exactly, but for the future, she has to do something like Paddington or Aquaman and even Untouchable or Just Go With It, connect her with young audience and the next generation wall street money, it's very important, maybe in every two years? I hope.
of course project like How to talk to girls at parties, both commercial and artistic, is the best, but after all, it's just very rare.
I feel through the pain of the Golden Compass, and I feel for her, I know that's the reason why she avoids, but shit happens, it's just bad luck, get over it and move on. you need to do some evil commercial popcorn pics to keep the resource for the right artistic films Nic, you need to.
only except the MCU shit! don't do that.

It's important for human voices to be heard and unfortunately the film industry is not very accommodating when it comes women directing films. It's discrimination when in a year, a decade, a century full of movies directed by men, yet women aren't given enough opportunities to even try and make a statement. This year alone (2017)only a couple of handful of women will have films being released. Therefore, I'd argue that merit only comes with practice and experience, yet how can you excel when you aren't given a chance? So I admire Kidman for making a concerted effort in recent years to work with women, Farrant, Coppola and now Miller. I haven't forgotten Campion but she's worked with her before. |

In an ideal world, maybe, but I find the whole "I don't see gender/race/etc" so incredibly naive. Some people have to do extra work to get there. It's important (especially for someone powerful) to support them. |
