Nicole Kidman to Star in Movie "Mice"

The team behind Nine Perfect Strangers and The Undoing — Blossom Films and Made Up Stories – have put together another solid movie that will star Nicole Kidman and directed by Justin Kurzel.

They've teamed up on a feature movie adaptation of Mice, a debut novel by Gordon Reece.

The producers will partner with the production company Thirdborn, made up of Kurzel, Shaun Grant and Nicole O’Donohue.

Grant will write the script; he and Kurzel teamed for the Cannes-winning Nitramand and the upcoming TV series The Narrow Road to the Deep North.

Blossom Films’ Kidman and Made Up Stories’ principal Bruna Papandrea will produce alongside Blossom’s Per Saari, Made Up Stories’ Steve Hutensky and Jodi Matterson and Thirdborn’s Kurzel and Grant.

Jeanne Snow of Made Up Stories will exec produce with Thirdborn’s O’Donohue and Harriet Warner.

In Mice, Shelley and her mother are pushed to their limits, confronting their moral convictions and the line between right and wrong in the face of bullying, violence, and fear.

The novel was published by Viking in the U.S. and Macmillan in the UK in 2011.
