Nicole Kidman does not hide her desire to add one more name to her impressive list of collaborators: Martin Scorsese. The star admits that I would like to be at your service from the New York maestro, although he recognizes that this could be a difficult dream to realize.
The actress and director have collaborated on Apple TV+ series and films. And also seeing that Martin Scorsese will continue to work for Apple in his new production with Javier Bardem and Steven Spielberg, perhaps there is a future to add Nicole Kidman to one of his productions.
Nicole Kidman challenges Scorsese
“I want to work with him if he makes a movie with women,” Nicole Kidman said in a recent interview with Vanity Fair. This statement says a lot about the Hollywood industry. Other actresses like Eva Longoria have also found themselves struggling when it comes to participating in productions because the majority of producers and directors are men. In fact, thanks to the support of Apple TV+, he was able to star in one of the Apple series recorded in USA.
Nicole Kidman's Desire presents an interesting challenge for Scorsese, known for his films centered on male characters. The director, whose latest work The Moon Killers It was also signed by Apple TV+, nor seems to have shown great interest so far in carrying out projects with a strong female presence.
The controversy that arose with The Irishwhere Anna Paquin He barely had a line of dialogue in over three hours of footagecould be indicative of this trend. However, Scorsese defends his artistic choice, arguing that Paquin's character is crucial as a silent observer of history.
Apple TV+ can be the bridge between two legends
While Apple TV+ is banking heavily on renowned productions, the question arises: could the platform be the ideal setting to bring together these two cinema stars? Apple TV+ demonstrated its ability to attract high-level talent and it wouldn't be unreasonable to think of a project that would bring Kidman and Scorsese together under its umbrella.
We also know that Apple is one of the companies most open to these types of claims, and being Scorsese's first film to star primarily women This would be something that, from Cupertino, they would surely love to see.
Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman is not closing doors and maintaining her enthusiasm for working with emerging directors. “I’m always open to discovering new people.”
Although a collaboration with Kidman may seem unlikely at the moment, in the world of cinema, you can never say never. Yes indeed, at 82 years oldit is unclear how many productions will remain waiting to become a reality in the mind of Martin Scorsese. And, knowing production times, a film can take between two and three years. Something that would put Martin at 85 years old.
