For the first time, Nicole Kidman discusses in public what it takes to…
A well-known actor is one thing.
Nicole Kidman, winner of the Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globes, nevertheless, spoke on Thursday at the South By Southwest Sydney (SXSW) stage about producing rather than appearing in movies and television.
Kidman noted that this was her first time speaking in this role. Her co-founder of Blossom Films Per Saari, a production firm, joined her on stage, and she was questioned by her childhood friend Peter Overton of the Nine Network.
Kidman and Saari provided an insight into what it is like to work behind the scenes, covering everything from knocking on doors to never giving up and teaming up with people you would have dinner with, to being unable to find a bathroom on set. However, they were unable to discuss specific projects due to the Hollywood actors’ strike.
Kidman admitted to the crowd, “I urinate in the bush.”
Kidman went on, to the hilarity of the audience.
“Hey, you have to put up the necessary effort to receive the shot.”
Embracing the mistakes is often the key to creating amazing material, according to Kidman, who spoke of locating a fantastic setting only to discover once the cameras were rolling that it was on a flight path.
She remarked, “I have worked enough to know that you never fight the situation.”
If that is the case, you simply maintain an extremely composed demeanor, as if you are in a trance. Because you will get worse if you try to fight it.
It will enrich the scene in some way.
“Avoid fighting it and resisting it. Many of the errors are what truly give it its magical quality.”
Kidman and Saari disclosed that Blossom Films, which had previously adapted Liane Moriarty’s novels Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, was set to begin filming The Last Anniversary, a movie directed by John Polson and based on the book.
To cheers, Kidman remarked, “[It’s] an Australian project with Australian accents for the globe.”
