As a seasoned cinephile who’s been graced with the silver screen for more than three decades now, I must say that Nicole Kidman‘s latest revelation has sent a shiver down my spine… and not just because of her chilling performances! In an unexpected twist, the multi-talented Aussie actress is expressing her desire to venture further into the realm of hardcore horror.
Nicole Kidman has expressed a surprising desire for her career to delve deeper into a specific genre. Known for her versatility across various film and television projects, which have earned her numerous awards including an Oscar, she’s now expressing a fascination with a genre that might catch some off guard. Despite having ventured into horror before in films like “The Others” (2001), Kidman is now disclosing her intention to take on a more intense and hardcore horror project.
During an interview with L’Officiel USA, Nicole Kidman may have gained additional fans from the genre world as she openly expressed her fondness for “intense horror” films. The actress not only admits to this preference but also offers a recommendation for a recent horror film, specifically last year’s Talk To Me, directed by Australian duo Danny and Michael Phillippou. Furthermore, Kidman revealed that she is an avid supporter of director Ti West, who helmed the movie MaXXXine.
“So far, I haven’t delved into traditional horror that is considered ‘hardcore’. However, I have a penchant for such extreme genres myself, and I’ve always been fascinated by the work of Ti West.”
Nicole Kidman is no Stranger to Horror and Psychological Thrillers
Nicole Kidman has ventured into the horror genre on multiple occasions, starting with her role as Grace Stewart in Alejandro Amenábar’s chilling supernatural horror film titled “The Others“. Released in 2001, this movie narrates the story of a woman (Kidman) and her two children who encounter mysterious supernatural events upon the arrival of new household staff at their home. While it was more refined in its approach, the film proved popular with horror enthusiasts and mature audiences who appreciate subtler horrors. “The Others” received widespread acclaim and commercial success, boasting a 84% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and grossing $210 million worldwide against a production budget of just $17 million. Kidman’s portrayal in the movie also earned her a nomination for Best Actress (Drama) at the Golden Globes.
2013 saw Nicole Kidman take on the role of Evelyn in the psychological thriller “Stoker,” directed by Park Chan-wook, marking his first foray into English-language filmmaking. When asked about her fondness for this movie, Kidman explained her desire to be part of it by saying, “Few people talk about Stoker, but I adore director Park Chan-wook. That monologue was the reason I accepted the role.” In “Stoker,” young India (Mia Wasikowska) is left in the care of her unstable mother Evelyn (Kidman) after her father’s untimely death in a car accident. During the funeral, they are introduced to her father’s younger brother Charlie (Matthew Goode), who subsequently stays with them. India becomes increasingly suspicious that he has hidden intentions.
Nicole Kidman’s preference for collaborating with specific directors might stem from her affinity towards horror films. When asked about taking on more mainstream action movies, she clarifies that it’s not primarily about the money, adding, “People often don’t realize, but the big blockbusters I do are intended to be distinctive.” Interestingly, when she worked with director James Wan on the two Aquaman films, she initially believed she was offered a horror movie role due to his background in franchises like Saw and The Conjuring. As Kidman expressed, “I had really wanted to work with him in horror.”
It could be that she collaborated with director Robert Eggers on the action epic “The Northman” in 2022 because he is best recognized for horror movies like “The Witch,” “The Lighthouse,” and the forthcoming gothic horror film, “Nosferatu.” Notably, he also directed Kidman as Queen Gudrún in a memorable scene from the movie, which she herself describes as one of her favorites, stating, “[In] The Northman, it’s not a soliloquy, but it’s a nearly uninterrupted scene by director Robert Eggers where I entice Alexander Skarsgård as my son. I adore that scene, too.”
