Thanks for the news skanky . I look forward to seeing the magazine for more details. I expect someone will scan it before it reaches Australia

That was lovely of Patricia Bosworth to inspire Nicole


nicolefan17, was that Friday's ET they talked about Fur? We do not get that til Monday here (such a long time to wait). I will make some video for us.

nicolefan22 thanks for the pics. We sort of have them on the NKU Fur page, but only tiny and we point to the site. The reason for this is there is a request not to post those photos anywhere. So we cannot have them here. Best to just put the link to the site where you found them. But thanks all the same

Thanks for the news....look forward to some scans hopefully as I don't get Vanity Fair.

I thought Fur was only loosely based on Patricia Bosworth's book. Has anyone actually read the book? I forsee a slight increase in book sales for Bosworth .

[scarlett]

Fur is not going to be a big opener, it will be a pleasant surprise if it makes its money back.  Her not making hits is not something that her fans should worry about, NK doesn't worry about it either.  She has said on many occasions, her BO is not what makes her career, it is the work she does that makes her career.

whether is opens big or not (probably the latter) doesn't matter. It could be a sleeper hit and gain a greater audience through good word of mouth. There are so few well written scripts/movies with actual substance behind the characters and plot. If not at the box office, they'll make their money back in rentals and DVD sales.

I admire the choices she makes...it's not for the money, it's for the art.

Yes, it is loosely based on it, Fur covers about 4 months of Arbus' life but they did adapt her book for the movie. I wonder what will happen because at the time of the book's release, 20 years ago, it quite divided its readers so you have a book that was deemed too sensationalised and a movie that's also an imaginary portrait. It gets more interesting .

Thank you very, very much, Skanky, for your great response to my question on bankability and box office flops. That really puts things into perspective for me and is encouraging. I won't worry about the bankability or abundance of roles now for Nicole. I believe when she accepts new roles that she will continue to give directors, producers, studios all she's got in talent, abilities, effort and dedication as well as her time in promoting the films.

[Wiggleurnose]

Thanks Skanky...did not know it's been 20 years since the book. I only hope they emphasize the fact that Fur is an imaginary portrait. I have already read of some rumblings that Nicole looks nothing like Arbus and with Nicole the media have the tendency to make even the smallest issue into the biggest controversy.

What else is new? but this is something I always find amusing.

Wiggle, that just shows you they gotta find something to complain about when there's really nothing. It appears to me they should be damn grateful that some actress (Nicole Kidman!!) finally signed on and stayed on (because it seems she really believes in the concept and project and also because one of the things I admire about Nicole is her love of indie and or alternative stories and scripts...) and gave this movie a fighting chance after it was shunted around for so many years.

This is one of the things I always find interesting when it comes to NK and her work, the fact that she can so easily turn people into a tizzy , she is such a divisive performer.

I saw a preview of FUR last night on EXTRA. They talked tot he author as well & showed the pictures of Nicole & Downy, Jr. that are in Vanity Fair. She was very complimentary of Nicole. She said she knew the project was in good hands with her.

Diane Arbus' portraits are very interesting. I had never seen any before. Thanks.

[nicfan22]

is it possible to have the scans????
thankyou...

is very strange because of this film we known little...
it's a small production, and I don't wait a big result at the box office...
but many reviwes are good....very good..
i guess that the film is much attending... then why we must wait for much time for being able to see a trailer???

I just simply can't wait, i'm dying to see this movie!!!

Skanky, I hear you and IMO Nicole probably prefers that she polarizes audiences or at least generates such different responses and reactions than getting nothing or no buzz at all. I feel artists accept the criticims that come with the praise they seek - unless the criticism is personal as opposed to professional.

That's exactly what she has said, that she loves to do work that get people talking and start discussions.

thanks skanky!

@nicfan22 - that first portrait of diane arbus, the twins - it reminds me of the twins in the shining!! it freaked me a little, but then, i am easily spooked!!
