Not sure if Nicole could get any of these prestigious names. Personally I would love to see Nicole collaborating again and again with Park-Chan Wook. I'm sure they didn't say the last word on Stoker.
But... the source material doesn't sound like a good piece of literature. It's more Before I go to sleep than even Gone Girl or Girl on the train so I am not sure if she can get any autheur for that. I'd rather see her doing more mature, significant and simply good film adaptation in vein of The Hours, The Piano Teacher or Olive Kitteridge.

I think you underestimate Nicole, especially after her triumphant 2017. This. I'm surprised anyone think Nicole would have any trouble attracting the highest level of auteurs to a project she was producing. Directors tend to love her anyway, and her industry stock and power is at an all-time high after 2017. As is her credibility as a producer after Big Little Lies. I mean, Barry Jenkins (director of Moonlight) is a known Nicole stan on twitter and I think he and Nicole have hung out privately. Nicole could probably get someone the calibre of Jenkins if he were free. Could she snap her fingers and get Villeneuve, Fincher or Lee to definitely committ to it? Maybe not, but that's only because these guys are constantly developing their own projects to direct themselves, so it's hard to catch them when they have a window to take on someone else's project. But I absolutely think all of them would return her calls or emails, and take meetings with her to talk about a project, to see if they liked the material and it was something possible to do with their schedules. I mean someone like Fincher is essentially developing his own stuff for TV to direct (Mindhunters for Netflix). I can imagine him looking at the prestige Nicole and David E Kelley achieved with Big Little Lies and wanting in on that. But it may simply come down to Fincher being too busy to fit it in.

I am doubting that:) It's not because of Nicole, but the source material and not very high level of literature which The Undoing certainly is. Let's not forget that names (Jenkins, Fincher, Chan-Wook) You're recalling are powerhouses itself and they doesn't want be associated with not very promising projects even with Nicole and Kelley involment. I agree Nicole have had remarkable last year but still she have to proof herself as protagonist in Destroyer (it's been a while since she was leading actress in a movie) and as a movie star with questionable and odd choice with Aquaman.

Aquaman couldn’t be further than ‘odd and questionable choice’. It’s a prime Hollywood project promising great returns. And Nicole has just proved herself with the enormous success of BLL and Lion, followed by two well received films and a landslide of awards she’s won. Her name was said twice at the Oscars, ‘when we return from commercials, Nicole Kidman. Park should run to her to do this, not the other way around.

I couldn't disagree more. Not to be rude by the way. What could Nicole Kidman possibly need to prove now?

Not really on the prestigious names part but more on the fact that the source material seems kind of shitty. The reviews I've read + synopsis make it sound lackluster and rather basic. "Beach read" material. Littered with plotholes. Hmmm, maybe I'll read the book to see for myself, but I can't help feeling it's a watered down, cheap imitation of Gone Girl. I'm scared this will end up like Before I Go To Sleep. triflo: I think something more mature, meatier .... with more depth, like Olive Kitteridge would also be awesome! This is what I want from her.

More like, well, a beach read. It could work via Kelly.

The mini series medium gives some actors the breathing room to build their characters. Kidman has always excelled in this medium I became a fan of hers after watching
Bangkok Hilton.
So regardless of the material I'm confident Kidman can deliver.

What do you guys think about John Crowley? She's doing The Goldfinch with him and he does have an affiliation with HBO ie. True Detective - S2 (not really a feather in the cap but similar genre of suspense thriller, I guess).
