Nicole Kidman to Star Alongside Antonio Banderas in Movie "Babygirl"

Nicole Kidman and Antonio Banderas have joined the cast of A24‘s movie “Babygirl.”

“Bodies Bodies Bodies” filmmaker Halina Reijn is writing and directing the movie, which examines power dynamics and desirability in the workplace. 

It tells the story of a powerful CEO (Kidman) who begins an illicit affair with a much younger, charismatic intern (Harris Dickinson).

Banderas is playing the husband of Kidman’s character, while Sophie Wilde (“Talk to Me”) is portraying the assistant who watches the rendezvous go down. Jean Reno (“The Big Blue”) rounds out the cast as a rival business executive. It’s scheduled to film this December in New York.

David Hinojosa of 2AM will produce alongside Reijn of Man Up Film and A24, who is financing the project. Julia Oh, Zach Nutman and Christine D’Souza Gelb of 2AM will serve as executive producers.

Kidman, a decorated performer, is an Oscar winner for “The Hours” and an Emmy winner for “Big Little Lies”. 

Most recently, she appeared in director Robert Eggers’ Viking drama “The Northman” and the HBO miniseries “Nine Perfect Strangers.”

Kidman is reprising her role as Queen Atlanna in the upcoming DC sequel “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.”
