Kidman to lead in 'Invasion'
Nicole Kidman is in final negotiations to star in ¡°Invasion,¡± a sci-fi thriller being directed by the German director of a recent controversial film about Adolf Hitler.
A late September shoot in Baltimore is being eyed. Oliver Hirschbiegel will direct. He shot the Academy Award-nominated German-language film ¡°Downfall¡± about Hitler¡¯s last days, which has grossed more than US$87 million worldwide. ¡°Invasion¡± is neither a reimagining nor a remake of ¡°Invasion of the Body Snatchers.¡± The project originated as a remake, but when writer David Kajganich turned in his take, Warner Bros. thought it had something fresh on its hands. ¡°It¡¯s a very insidious story about how the end of the world can come through science and disease and not through explosions,¡± said producer Joel Silver. For Kidman, ¡°Invasion¡± would be a return to a genre she
hasn¡¯t done since the ghost story ¡°The Others¡± in 2001. She was most recently in
theaters with ¡°Bewitched¡± and ¡°The Interpreter.¡± |
