Nicole Kidman has joined the illustrious cast of Woody Allen’s as-yet-untitled upcoming film. Kidman will share the screen with such names as Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Freida Pinto and, fellow Australian Naomi Watts.
Although, Kidman and Watts have been friends since high school and have both astronomical risen to fame and fortune, their first Hollywood feature together will be Ryan Murphy’s (TV’s “Nip/Tuck”) erotic thriller “Need” which is due out in 2009 . This would mark almost thirty years since they attended North Sydney High School together and eighteen since their first appearance together in the Australian film “Flirting”. “Need” will see Kidman play an unstable patient trying to steal her psychiatrist’s (Watts) husband. While little has been heard about this particular film, Kidman and Watts must have enjoyed each other’s company so much that they decided to reunite under the helm of Allen.
In Contention reveals that Allen’s project will be “a dramatic comedy which is set in London [and] revolves around the romantic intrigues, sexual desires and ambitions of a group of people.” Filming is set to begin in the summer..Â
