According toDeadline, five-time Academy Award nominee and one-time winner,Nicole Kidman, has announced her newest project. Just months after her hit filmBeing the Ricardoslanded in theaters and on Prime Video, the actress has paired back up with the studio to star in theMimi Cave(Fresh) helmed thriller,Holland, Michigan. Along with starring, Kidman will add producer to her credits withPer Saariunder the actress’ Blossom Films.
Based onAndrew Sodroski’s (Manhunt) script, the plot forHolland, Michigansounds right up Kidman’s alley. The storyline will focus on a woman living in a small Midwestern town who believes her husband is cheating. Understandably upset and caught off guard, the woman takes matters into her own hands and begins an affair of her own, only to learn that something more sinister than she could have ever imagined is going on with her husband who’s leading a double life. The feature is described as having a Hitchcockian underlying vibe which means that it promises to bring the eerie mystery already set up by the plot description. Sodroski’s screenplay was one of the hot commodities on the 2013 Black List, a platform that connects up-and-coming writers to studios and filmmakers.
As we mentioned, with Kidman’s background in jumpy thrillers, the actress is the perfect choice to leadHolland, Michigan. In the past, she’s appeared in projects including HBO’s crime-based drama,Big Little Lies, andThe Undoing, as well as the edge-of-your-seat twist-filled,The Others— all of which have solidified her name in the thriller genre. As of late, she appeared inRobert Eggers’ gritty and dark action-packed feature,The Northman, and the Hulu series,Nine Perfect Strangers. She also found massive success starring as comedy legendLucille Ball, in the aforementionedAaron Sorkin-helmedBeing the Ricardos. Up next, she’ll be seen swimming back into her role of Atlanna in DC and Warner Bros.Aquamansequel,Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
