Two days ago an Italian magazine published a big Nic picture (not new, it is from the 2004 Venice Film Festival) and small article on the alleged rivalry between Venice Film Festival and Rome Film Festival. The latter will be held for the first time next October in Rome. In the article the journalist writes that Nicole will probably be in Rome to promote Fur. There’s nothing certain yet, but it’s a possibility. Note that the magazine is a supplement of the Corriere della Sera, which is supposed to be a “serious newspaper”…

Fur going to Rome would be great news to me, since I live there and I’d finally get a chance to see Nicole!

ciao

Here's the first picture (thanks Foxy for your help!):



And here's the article in Italian:



Translation
Nicole Kidman goes to war. Between Venice and Rome.
Robert De Niro’s presence at the opening night of Rome film festival should be sure by now, which must have caused even more irritation to Marco Muller (this is the director of Venice Film Festival ). Actually, although Walter Veltroni (and this is the mayor of Rome... ) assures that the first edition of “his” Rome Film Festival (to be held from 13th to 21th October) does not want to compete with the traditional Venice Film Festival – he keeps saying it’s a festival for moviegoers and not for insiders – the rivalry between Venice and Rome continues and it’s certainly going to be harsher in the next months. Also in the light of the other stars who should make a stop in Rome, both in the flesh and with their movies. Like Nicole Kidman, who should go there to present her film Fur, about the life of the photographer Diane Arbus. Thus preferring the dome of St Peter’s to the Lagoon of Venice.

It would be nice to see Nicole supporting the smaller festival, but I would rather see her in Venice...

Thanks .

thankyou for the news samantha..

Weel...I am Italian and many newspapers of my country not see very well this
festival of Rome, in particular for the way has been created: very quickly
and mysteriously, and beacuse it could be a hard adversary for the
festival of Venice that is our national pride...
so i think that is better for nicole and for FUR are
introduced to Venice, becouse the movie has more possibility to have
succeeded ..maybe i mistake but i think that the festival of rome will not have the attention of Venice...
so i hope that nic will go to venice...

Thanx 4 da info Samantha Stevens

Thanks, Samantha...I think I need to plan a trip to Rome in October. I was going to do it anyway but this is just another reason to beg my husband to take me!

Thanks samantha s. Fur would appear to suit these types of festivals and for it to miss Venice was such a shame. It was a shame Fur was not ready in time for Cannes ( I gather that was the reason it did not appear in the end). This October date for Rome looks more hopeful, with plenty of time for them to get it ready

Marking on calendar now.

Thanks, Samantha, for the post.


I agree with you, nicfan22. It would have been much nicer for Nicole to go to Venice. That's such a romantic place. It would be fantastic if Keith could also go with her.

Thank you, Samantha.
I'm happy only to see her in a festival like that!
It's been a long time since we've seen her promoting a film.

Thanks Samantha.
Which ever one Nicole goes too I want to see the pictures.

thank you samantha.
i dont mind if nicole goes to a film festival on the moon, ( ) - i just want to see the pictures!!

Thanks Samantha for the news! Hope to see a lot of beautiful photos.

Thanks ~Samantha~

Absolutely gorgeous scans! Thanks!

I'm so looking forward for this movie!

In the last issue of FilmTV (an Italian weekly magazine) Fur is mentioned again as one of the films that might be in competition (together with Scoop by W Allen, The Departed by Scorsese, etc.) at Rome Film Festival. They say it's just rumours going around, but who knows...

Thanks Samantha!
