As previously reported, Nicole was scheduled to appear on Regis & Kelly on December 24th. However, it turned out to be a repeat of last years appearance, when Nicole was on to promote Nine. Disappointing, as I was looking forward to another new interview! Maybe they’ll have her on again properly in the new year.

Oscar winning actress Nicole Kidman has scored positive reviews, and a Golden Globe nomination, for her role as a mother dealing with the death of her child in the independent film “Rabbit Hole.”
The film was released last week in major U.S. theaters and expands around the country starting on Christmas day.
“Rabbit Hole” is based on the Pulitzer prize-winning play by David Lindsay-Abaire. Kidman stars alongside Aaron Eckhart as grieving couple Becca and Howie. Kidman also produced the film, marking it the inaugural project from her company, Blossom Films.
Kidman, who lives in Nashville with her country star husband Keith Urban and their daughter Sunday Rose, spoke Reuters about the film, her family and being a mother.
Q: How did you come across the play?
A: “I read the review of ‘Rabbit Hole’ in the New York Times. Living in Nashville, I get the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. That’s my contact with the city because that’s where I used to live and I’m a theater buff. When I read the review, I thought, ‘Gosh, that sounds like rich material.’”

Everyone experiences loss and grief but few films show it in such a naked and matter-of-fact manner as does Rabbit Hole. The Aussie actress Nicole Kidman was so passionate about David Lindsay-Abaire’s original Pulitzer Prize-winning play that she signed on as one of its producers as well as its star in order to see to that his script would get made into this film.
For such a glamorous Oscar winning actress, making this John Cameron Mitchell-directed film offered her an incredible chance to see this award-worthy examination of loss and recovery come to fruition. With a cast that included Aaron Eckhart and Dianne Wiest, this unvarnished and austere movie tells the story of a couple suffering through the process of coping with and living past the accident death of their child.
During a recent press conference and afterwards, the 43-year-old lithe redhead answered questions about what it took to get this film made and play such an emotionally-wrenching part.
Q: This film is about understanding the process of coping with grief. What did you learn about that process in making this film — did you draw from experiences in your life to connect to the characters?
NK: It’s something that I’ve always wanted to explore. I’ve explored it in other films in different ways. I explored it in a film called Birth which was in a very different way. So I feel like it is territory that I would even explore again because it’s so much a part of our journey, what we love, what we lose, and the fear of that.

John Cameron Mitchell talks about not just Rabbit Hole, but also makes reference to Nicole doing The Danish Girl! Thanks to our forum member ‘thehours_fan’ for the heads-up about this article.
In Rabbit Hole, a little boy’s death tears his parents’ lives apart. Actor-turned-filmmaker John Cameron Mitchell (Shortbus, Hedwig and the Angry Inch) connected deeply with the material — adapted by David Lindsay-Abaire from his own Pulitzer Prize-winning play — and won over star/producer Nicole Kidman, snagging his first high-profile, Hollywood feature-directing gig.
As close to a sure bet for an Oscar nomination as one can get, Kidman delivers a natural performance opposite an equally strong Aaron Eckhart. While somber in tone, Rabbit Hole’s wit-bitten dialogue, smart editing, alternating flashes of humor and explosive emotion, and excellent supporting actors — including Sandra Oh, Dianne Wiest, and newcomer Miles Teller as the teenager who accidentally caused the child’s death — combine to make a memorable, compelling and entertaining new classic.

The stars of “Rabbit Hole,” Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart, play mourning parents eight months removed from the death of their son, each so consumed by individual grief that neither is attuned to the other’s emotional and physical needs.
It is the kind of domestic melodrama Hollywood studios rarely make anymore, and perhaps the last man you would expect to direct it is John Cameron Mitchell, best known for 2001’s “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” his seminal comedy about a transsexual punk rocker, and the 2006 bohemians-in-heat drama “Shortbus.”
A versatile talent who made his acting debut in the 1984 TV movie “The Roommate,” Mitchell wrote the original screenplays for the films he directed.
Does “Rabbit Hole” — adapted from David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play — reflect a radical change in his professional approach?
