Here's just one part about Nicole:
MG: Working with Kidman, what was that like for you? Shainberg: For some reason when she became interested in doing the film, I went to Sydney to have dinner with her and to talk about the movie. It was one of those meetings where 15 minutes into the dinner it was like we'd known each other for 20 years. I can't explain it. It just happens in your life where you just meet somebody that you know you're going to be friends with for a long time. It was a filial relationship. It was like she was my sister. I can't explain that, but, we just really trusted each other and I adore her as an actress. That was just the beginning of working together and it developed positively from there. She is an actor who is incredibly alive between action and cut. She is totally present. She's completely giving to the other person. Her only question of the director truly is what do you want? So if she doesn't give a good performance in a movie, which frankly is rare, you've got nobody to blame but yourself. She wants nothing more than to get at the character as deeply as she can.

That was a good interview, and I love his comments thatt talking with Nicole was like talking to a sister--immediate rapport. She must truly be a warm and friendly person to make that kind of first impression. I would love to meet her.

I think someone may have posted a link to this interview previously in another thread (*will have to rummage around for that*) but it's definitely worth highlighting. An excellent conversation.

Absolutely - for anyone who has seen "Secretary". it should be clear that NK is in safe & creative hands with Shainberg at the helm - especially after the relative disappointments of Frank Oz & Nora Ephron.
FUR could well be another Nicole classic
