It seems like no one has been busier this past year than Nicole Kidman.<\/p>\n
We loved her in HBO’S The Undoing <\/strong><\/em>and\u00a0were surprised by her quirkiness in Netflix’s The Prom.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n But it seems that her latest casting announcement is stirring up some controversy.<\/p>\n She has said to have been cast to play Lucille Ball<\/strong> in an upcoming biopic. Ball was the wildly popular actress, comedian, and overall icon known best for the beloved show I Love Lucy.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n What seems to be confusing people the most is the clear difference in Kidman’s serious personas and Ball’s iconic comedic take on everything she did.<\/p>\n [twitter id=”1348745519225569283″]<\/p>\n We have some additional information on the movie, which will be called “Being The Ricardos”<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n The film will focus on the production and decline of of I Love Lucy,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>as well as the turbulent marriage between Lucy & Desi Arnaz,<\/strong> who also starred on the show.<\/p>\n The role of Arnaz has also been casted, with the role going to Javier Bardem <\/strong>(Jay approves).<\/p>\n Aaron Sorkin has signed on as screenplay writer and recently decided to direct as well. He’s known for his writing for many different films including The Social Network, Moneyball,<\/strong><\/em> and most recently, The Trial of The Chicago 7<\/em><\/strong> (Tori’s top movie from 2020).<\/p>\n Our take: we’ll give it a shot. Biopics have the potential to be truly special and they certainly could have picked worse people to star.<\/p>\n Let’s use this as a chance to re-watch a great clip:<\/p>\n
