Nicole Kidman is re-entering the world of erotica she last stripped down for in an awful Kubrick film. Variety says she’s signed up to star in The Reader opposite Ralph Fiennes.
In The Reader a man recounts the story of his erotic awakening during a secret love affair with an older woman in the midst of WWII. Presumably Kidman plays the older woman, but is she really all that much older than Fiennes? He can’t possibly be playing the man in the past. That just wouldn’t make sense. Meanwhile, he’s too young to play the old man recounting a story of his youth. So, I have no idea where he fits in. Maybe he’s the soldier on the left in scene 24.
The movie is based on a novel by a German writer with an “Sch” in his name. Schlink? I hope I spelled that right. It looks like a brand of razor. Stephen Daldry, who did The Hours with Kidman, will direct and David Hare is turning the novel into a script. No word on whether that script will require Kidman to participate in an on-screen orgy, the way her last erotic awakening film did.

Unless they've changed the story with the screenplay, Ralph Fiennes will probably play more of a narrative role and the lead male character much later in the book. Nicole Kidman's role is that of Hanna who has a sexual relationship with a 15 year old (young version of Fiennes). So the majority of Kidman's role will be filmed with a kid or an extremely young looking actor. She's 36 at the time of this affair. This affair takes up the entire first section of the book. You next see her when she's 43 and on trial for her war crimes. And then again years later. Kidman will have to have some major make up work done if she is to play Hanna in all 3 stages. I don't know if they studio or whoever is trying to mislead people about this and not mention the 15 year old. If you aren't familiar with The Reader you wouldn't know. I'm completely turned off by this. I can't believe she would take on this role. It shows a total lack of respect to her husband and to her own teenage children.
