This is one of her projects that I am curious if she will be able to pull it off! Kidman always gives great performances but there were roles in the past that she was obviouly miscast.
I am not sure if physically she can convince the audience that she has the strength to be a detective. Kidman is tall and lean. She is regal and ethereal. This is the reason why photoshoots pretending to be cowboy or average Joe doesn't work.
I am very curious how she will look like and I am curious about the story plot. If understood correctly, there will be flasbacks to the past... How exactly that will happen? There will be another actor for a younger version of her character? Just hoping and praying it will not Kidman that will play a 25-30 years old version of her character, because that will be ridiculous...
On the other hand, if the news about launching this film to China is true, that is a very good start! I always say that Kidman needs to focus on European/Asian markets. She is much more respected and popular there than in US.

I can see her working a brunette angle as a detective, but she doesn't have to be a brute to play a detective. From what we know of the plot she was an undercover detective, so perhaps the cult she infiltrated needed attractive women or whatnot.

I'm actually excited for this project. Of course it could be a total disaster, but it could also turn out to be well-received like The Invitation.
The fact that the producer of La La Land is behind it gives me confidence.
And the fact that they were able to sell Chinese rights is also encouraging.
This could be a nice showcase for Nicole. I just hope her character is well written and multi-dimensional.

Maslany is as legit as they come. She's the type of actress with the talent to have a career like Nicole's or Blanchett's. Not saying she will, because it all depends on smart decisions and opportunities presented, but she makes similarly aged actresses like Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman look almost like rank amateurs. Her addition alone seems like a statement of intent of sorts.

Interesting! You don't think Stan would be the cult leader, right? He sounds way too young for that part.

Psyched about Tatiana. She's one of the best.

I was wondering when they would announce casting details filming is going to start in a couple of weeks!
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with tatiana's work cause I don't watch orphan black but I'm enthused by the positive reactions here.
Sebastian I've seen him in one of the captain America films acting as the brainwashed winter soldier so maybe he has that part taken care off.
Also they're both too young to be the cult leader.
There is this actress called Vallorie Curry who starred in a similar cult like premise TV show starring Kevin Bacon called "the following". If they can get her that would be fantastic.
But all eyes will be on who they cast as the cult leader. It just occurred to me how interesting if they reunite Kidman with John Malkovich they had a very tense relationship on portrait of a lady, it was alleged that he slapped her 35 times for real during a scene and he kept disparaging and belittling her skills as an actress.

I only watched one season of Orphan Black.I didnt rate the show enough to keep watching. It was passable in a cheap Canadian way. But Tatiana"s hype was completely warranted. She pretty much was the show. It was a trip to watch her play like 5 or 6 clones of herself, each with distinct mannerisms and personalities, and for her to pull it off. Not surprised at the clamour to give her the Emmy (which she eventually got) in spite of her show being pretty average, imho.
She"s apparently translated well into movies as well. Haven't seen Stronger, but a lot of the early reviews I read gave her more praise than Jake Gyllenhaal, who is playing the more obviously awardsbait leading role of a guy who lost his legs. I think Tatiana would have been in the thick of the supporting actress Oscar race this year based on her reviews, if Stronger didn't tank so badly at the box office and kill any buzz that film had (aside from Gyllenhaal, who really is canpaigning hard to break into a weak best actor race).
