Nicole wants Keith in her new movie Updated: 2006-06-07 08:39
With her wedding quickly approaching, the only thing Nicole Kidman has on her
mind is fianc¨¦, Keith Urban. The pair will be wed at the end of this month is
Sydney, according to numerous sources, but Nicole is now looking to mix some
business in with her pleasure. The actress is reportedly attempting to have
Keith cast alongside her in a new film.
The movie, to be directed by Moulin Rouge¡¯s Baz Luhrman, centers around the
Japanese bombing of Darwin, Australia in 1942. The part Nicole intends for Keith
was originally given to fellow Australian, Russell Crowe. Crowe, however,
demanded script approval and was dropped from the project. Heath Ledger was also
considered, but the actor passed.
With the part open again, Kidman is eager to star with her real-life love. An
insider told the London Sun, "Nicole thinks [Keith] would be perfect for the
role and that their real-life magic would jump onto the screen.¡± But their
potential for on-screen chemistry isn¡¯t the only catalyst behind Nicole¡¯s
decision. ¡°She's dreading being away from him during a six-month shoot in the
outback," says the source.
