Actress. Manufacturer. Music director?
Nicole Kidman used his connections to land a key scene in his new erotic thriller, Baby girl.
According to the director Haline ReinThe 57-year-old Oscar winner was instrumental in securing the rights to the classic INXS song 'Never Tear Us Apart' for a montage scene in the new film.
“We put it in the montage. I almost cried. The editor and I shouted at each other,” Rein explained in an interview with the newspaper The ReelBlend Podcast on Friday, December 27. “The next day I called (film studio) A24 and said, 'Okay, we have to get the rights to this song.' They said no. They said it was a hard no. And I didn't sleep for a week. I tried every other song I could think of. Nothing worked. “
That's when Reina reached out to her lead actress, who managed to pull a few strings.
“And then I called Nicole just because we became so close. I was like, 'I'm so depressed.' And she said, 'Give me a couple of days.' And she did,” Rein said. “She has rights. She got to the right people and she did it for us. Amazing.”
In Baby girlKidman plays a high-powered CEO who begins a steamy affair with a young intern she plays Harris Dickinson.
Film director recently defended the age difference of 29 years between her two stars. (Dickinson is 28.)
In an interview with In the magazine published on Wednesday, December 25th, Reign was asked about adding to the pantheon of romance films released this year featuring an older woman and a younger man (including Kidman's A family affair and Anne Hathaway– in the main role The idea of you).
“If we see a film where a male actor is the same age as a female actor, we find it strange. What is insanity. It should be completely normalized that the age gap is changing and that women have different relationships,” Rein said. “We are no longer trapped in a box. We internalize the male gaze, we internalize patriarchy, and we need to break free from it. It's really hard.”
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published earlier this month, Kidman recalled is shocked by one early review from Baby girl.
“I think this film is very free. I hope it is,” she said. “Some people have said it's the most disturbing movie they've ever seen, and I'm like, 'Oh no, I'm so sorry.'
Kidman, on the other hand, relished the opportunity to play an older woman who embraced her sensual side.
“A lot of times women are dismissed at a certain point in their career as a sexual being. So it was really beautiful to be seen in that way,” said the Oscar winner. THR. “From the minute I read it, I was like, 'Yeah, this is a voice I haven't seen, this is a place I haven't been, I don't think the audience has been.' My character has reached a stage where she has all this power, but she's not sure who she is, what she wants, what she wants, even though she seems to have it all. And I think it's really relatable.
