Welcome to Nicole's Magic, a fansite for the spectacular spectacular Academy Award winning Australian actress Nicole Kidman.

NB: As part of our site overhaul, all of our content is moving over to a new system. While these changes take place many of the pages within this site will not work/give errors - please be patient as I work to fix them as quickly as I can!
Movie Of The Month
As part of a bi-monthly feature here at Nicole's Magic, each month we will be taking a look back at one of Nicole's films or acting projects. Nicole has an immense body of work behind her, and there's no better way to be reminded of her talent and how much we love her than immersing ourselves and taking an in depth look at those works.
"Mrs Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself..."

As posted about before, Trespass will be premiering at the Toronto Film Festival next month, and we now have exact dates! The TIFF website has also added film details and a mini-review/preview.
Trespass will receive it’s world premiere on Wednesday September 14th at the Roy Thomson Hall at 9:30pm. This will be the red carpet event, which we hope Nicole will be able to attend. The film will also receive a screening the day after, at the Visa Screening Room (Elgin) at 2:30pm.
A seemingly straightforward home invasion evolves into something far more complicated in Joel Schumacher’s terse thriller that reunites the director with past collaborators Nicholas Cage and Nicole Kidman. Full of double-crosses, explosive violence and riveting performances, Trespass doesn’t waste any time penetrating boundaries or getting under our skin.
Programmer’s Note
Trespass gets right down to the business of violating boundaries. It opens with Kyle (Nicolas Cage) steering his luxury convertible through the Louisiana woods, nearly home yet still working, making desperate calls to real-estate clients unresponsive to his hard sells. Kyle arrives at his isolated, museum-like mansion to find his wife Sarah (Nicole Kidman) arguing with their adolescent daughter Avery (Liana Liberato). Avery locks herself in her room; Kyle keeps taking business calls; Sarah just wants a nice family dinner. So domestic tensions are already peaking when unexpected visitors arrive, wearing masks, making demands and packing heat.
Nic was busy at work on the set of The Paperboy again last week, and looking just as amazing doing it as she was earlier this month. She seemed to spend most of the scene on August 26th in the back of a car, so we can only see the back of her head in them, with Zac Efron looking all beat up standing beside it! I can’t wait for this movie, it sounds like it’s going to be very intense!
You can see a shot of one of the locations they’re filming at here.
There has been an increasing amount of news relating to Trespass in the last few weeks! About a month ago the ‘first poster’ for the film was produced, with the release date stated on it as October 14th. There was speculation whether this was an official poster and date, as, to put it bluntly, questions were raised about the photoshopping in the poster. It was also rumoured the film would be going straight to DVD.
However, since then, lots of ‘official’ news has turned up!
- The film will be released in US cinemas and ‘video-on-demand’ on October 14th. It will follow on DVD on November 1st.
- The poster was indeed official.
- Trespass will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, as posted about here a few days ago.
- A few early reviews have been posted about the film, presumably from people having seen a preview screening of it.
- Official sites have been put online – visit the official website for the movie at trespass-the-movie.com, and on social networking sites Twitter and Facebook.
- Finally, in the past couple of days the first official trailer for the film has been released! Check back in a minute for that to be posted here.
The official poster can now be viewed in our Gallery, and you can read about those preliminary reviews I mentioned, plus blu-ray specs, further down this post.
David Hare’s British spy film “Page Eight” will serve as closing-night film of the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, which also announced a new slate of galas and special presentations on Tuesday, including the Winnie Mandela biopic “Winnie,” Marc Forster’s “Machine Gun Preacher” and Joel Schumacher’s home-invasion drama “Trespass,” with Nicole Kidman and Nicolas Cage.
The new galas and special presentations added more than two dozen notable films to a TIFF lineup that was already notably strong and deep, while the festival also announced several dozen more additions to its more adventurous sidebars.
TIFF special presentations will include Whit Stillman’s “Damsels in Distress,” Andrea Arnold’s “Wuthering Heights,” Gianni Amelio’s Camus adaptation “The First Man,” Agnieszka Holland’s “In Darkness,” Julia Leigh’s controversial Cannes entry “Sleeping Beauty,” and “Violet & Daisy,” the directorial debut from “Precious” screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher.
The festival also announced a number of additions to other programs:
Dermot Mulroney has joined the cast of Stoker, the Fox Searchlight thriller written by former Prison Break star Wentworth Miller.
Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, Matthew Goode and Jacki Weaver make up the ensemble cast of the pic, which begins lensing later this month in Nashville with Chan-wook Park in the director’s chair.
The story centers on a young woman (Wasikowska) who loses her father and must contend with a mysterious uncle (Goode). Mulroney is playing the woman’s father.
Mulroney will be hitting movie threaters in three releases in as many months. He stars with Hope Davis in the black comedy The Family Tree, which opens August 26, and is a villain to Taylor Lautner’s hero in Abduction, which Lionsgate opens September 23. He also appears in J. Edgar, the Clint Eastwood drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which bows October 21.
On top that are six films in the can – including the Drew Barrymore movie Everyboydy Loves Whales and The Grey, directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Liam Neeson – giving the ICM-repped Mulroney the potential to be in theaters nine times in the next year.
Nic is working hard on the set of The Paperboy, and was photographed in full make-up on set yesterday in New Orleans. Her look here reminds me a bit of Suzanne Stone in To Die For!
As I have probably mentioned several times over the last few months, I’m slowly working on re-vamping our content. Everything is going to be moved over to a new ‘system’ (the same as this news uses. It will make no difference to you, don’t worry!), and will be drastically updated, and many new features are planned. I’ve started off easy with the Site and Web sections.
Many of these pages probably won’t interest you, but in the Site section let me point out the Contribute and Site Search pages. I’m always on the lookout for new-old things we don’t already have here, and the Contribute page lists some of those specific things – I would be so grateful if you could take a look at that page and see if you are able to help out in any way. I love making this site more comprehensive, and I also love, as do all of you I imagine, discovering Nicole photos/videos/information/etc. we don’t already have. As for the Site Search page, the main reason why I’m converting the content to this new system is so that you can search this site more easily. This page allows you to browse our news archives, find a list of site pages (which are a work in progress!), and type in words to search for throughout this site. This page is there to help if you’re looking for something! Most of the content is still on the old system, but once everything is converted searching fully will be possible.
In the Web section, I’ve created a page to list Nicole’s official spots around the web, and updated our Affiliates so you can find more fun fansites around the web.
Finally for now, I’ve created a Filmography page for The Paperboy. I will add to this page when I have more time to research the book and character more.
Next up for content updates will be our About Nicole’s Magic and Previous Layouts pages, as well as moving on to re-vamp the Interact section.
Prepare for another WOW – Nic was photographed on the set of The Paperboy again yesterday, wearing a short skirt and long shirt, and showing off that big bleached blonde wig. Nicole looks amazing! Pics have been added to the Gallery.
Unfortunately we’re not able to post all photos here, but you can see more pics of Nic showing off her perfect pins on the set yesterday here.
I’ve also replaced all but one of the photos from August 1st with HQ versions! We’re very lucky to have these, so enjoy.
What are your thoughts on these new set pictures? Are you excited about this film?
