Nicole Kidman discusses her future projects and career prospects.
Nicole Kidman is scheduled to star in the new Amazon Prime Video series Scarpetta.
The 57-year-old actress, who recently received the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award for her incredible work in the industry over the past four decades, has shared her enthusiasm for stepping into the titular role in the TV adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s novel.
Kidman stated that she has been coveting this job for more than two decades and thanking Cornwell for trusting her with the lead.
The Perfect Couple actress said of her character in the highly anticipated series, “I’ve been pursuing Scarpetta for nearly twenty years, going back to when it was intended to be a feature, so to unite with the formidable Jamie Lee Curtis, Prime Video, Jason Blum, and David Gordon Green on the Liz Sarnoff series version of Patricia Cornwell’s epic and thrilling books feels like it was meant to be.
“I cannot wait to inhabit Kay Scarpetta and am so thankful to Patricia Cornwell for entrusting me with her.”
In addition, she acknowledged reading Cornwell’s books with her late mother, who died on the same day she received an award at the Venice Film Festival.
The actress, who played Brooke Harwood in The Family Affair, hinted at a possible return to the stage after nine years away.
