Nicole Kidman
The stunning Nicole Kidman was in New York Wednesday night, but it was a serious theme that took center stage. Gary Sinise and Anthony Hopkins costar in "The Human Stain," a story about an abused woman who falls for an older man.
Nicole told "Extra" that playing a battered woman presented her with a difficult challenge. She says, "It’s difficult in the sense that you want to honor women who have been through a situation like this, and you want to protect the way in which she's presented."
The emotional thriller brought out Juliana Margulies, Jacinda Barrett, and hoops star Rick Fox. Even David Copperfield sensed magic in the movie.
Hopkins told "Extra" this weekend that he is proud that "The Human Stain" is a throwback to good old-fashioned movie making. Hopkins says, "As they say in Hollywood, it is a character-driven movie. Whatever that means. It’s a good story with powerful themes."
Hopkins and Kidman strike up a heated love match in the film, and Nicole admitted she couldn't have asked for a better partner. She says, "He’s wonderful. I think he's wonderful. It was so good to be able to work with him. He's one of the great actors."
"The Human Stain" is in theatres beginning October 3rd.
