Nicole Kidman Lioness casting story
di Tufail: Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman's path to starring in Lioness wasn't the original plan. She signed on just to produce, but a conversation with Taylor Sheridan changed that. She's always been drawn to the espionage world and had never gotten to play in that space, so when he asked if she'd consider acting in it, she said yes,but only in a supporting role, since her daughters are in school and she can't be on set around the clock. Sheridan promised to write something for her, and after reading it, she was blown away. Once he walked her through the character's mindset and personality, she was completely sold.

I think initially when we said it, and I was talking to Taylor and I was only going to produce it, and then I said, I've always loved this world, the espionage world, and I've never actually played anything in this genre. And he was like, would you want to be in it? And I said, yeah, in a supporting capacity, that would be amazing, because I have both my girls in school right now, and I can't be, you know, 24 seven. And so he came up with Caitlin. He goes, I think I've got something. I'm gonna write you something. And I read it and I went, oh, wow. And then I remember talking to him about it and him explaining her mindset and the type of person that she was. And I was hooked, hooked. She, I mean, she is unbelievably badass.
