Kidman Reunites with Hours Director
Nicole Kidman
is, without a doubt, one of the great screen actresses of her
generation.
But since winning an Oscar for The Hours, she's appeared in
several films not worthy of her talents, including Bewitched and
The Invasion.
So it's good news that she's reuniting with The Hours' gay
director, Stephen Daldry, for a film that will co-star Ralph Fiennes.
The Reader, based on the international best-seller, deals with a
15-year-old German boy who has an obsessive love affair with an older
woman during World War II, only to find out after the war's end that she
is the defendant in a Nazi war crimes trial and is quite likely guilty
of an unspeakable offense.
No word yet on when The Reader goes before the cameras, but it's
all but guaranteed an eventual Oscar marketing campaign.
