Back then, South Park was a cult hit that had only been on the air for two years. It’s impossible to understate how bizarre and unexpected South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut was. Though I do remember we were watching a wildlife thing where you saw the lion going after an antelope, and he could hardly watch it.Once upon a time, I knew every fucking word to every fucking song in this donkey dick musical. He said animals were so much nicer than human beings.

But I’d sit on the floor of his office and talk, and we’d watch animal videos. He was arduous in that he would shoot a lot. But you go, ‘As long as I surrender to what this is, I’m going to have an incredible time.’ Stanley, he wasn’t torturous. It turned into a year, a year and a half. Kidman continued, “We would say, ‘When is it going to end?’ We went over there thinking it was going to be three months. We were working with the greatest filmmaker and learning about our lives and enjoying our lives on set.” “We had two kids and were living in a trailer on the lot primarily, making spaghetti because Stanley liked to eat with us sometimes. Kidman talked at length about working with Kubrick on the deeply intimate picture and what life was like during the shoot, which was supposed to last only a few months and turned into two years. And the other actors, when you’re all there doing the work, it’s exquisite.” I love the relationship between a director and an actor. “I’m happy to deal with it, but there needs to be a place where you can go, I’m not going to be exploited. “Sexuality is over here in a box, and we don’t deal with it,” Kidman told the magazine. In the film, the then-married Kidman and Cruise played a couple exploring their own lives, marriage and infidelity.

I was protected, so I got to explore a complicated marriage and the way in which Tom character is having those jealous images.” I’d wanted to make sure that it wasn’t going to be me standing there nude and everyone laughing at me. He would show me the scenes with the nudity before they made it into the film,” she said. “When I went to work with Stanley Kubrick, he was like, ‘I’m going to want full-frontal nudity,’ and I was like, ‘Ahh, I don’t know.’ So we came up with a great agreement, which was contractual. In an in-depth interview with The New York Times Magazine published Monday, the Oscar-winning actress discussed her time working with Stanley Kubrick on the 1999 erotic drama.Īmong the conditions Kidman agreed to (contractually) with the late director were that she could view all her nude scenes after they were shot and could then approval what went into the final cut of the film. Nicole Kidman was allowed final say as to what nude scenes would go into the final cut of Eyes Wide Shut, she revealed in a recent interview.
