Director Olivier Dahan is onboard to helm the biopic of Oscar-winning actress Grace Kelly, who married Prince Rainier III of Monaco and became Monaco's monarch. The movie will be set during the 1961-1962 period, when Grace was the star of some behind the scenes of the political relations between her country and France. Variety reports that Nicole Kidman is in final negociations to star the project.
Dahan directed Marion Cotillard in her Oscar-winning performance as Édith Piaf in La vie en rose, so there are some expectations around Kidman's performance: a talented actress playing a former Hollywood godness, playing royalty and playing a strong woman is awards buzzy. I do not see Kidman as Grace Kelly easily, mostly because of the looks... Don't get me wrong, I think Kidman would be perfect for the role some years ago, but she's getting older and she doesn't look a "natural looking beauty" like Grace Kelly anymore (maybe it's because of plastic cirurgy). But makeup makes miracles and maybe some good work will make Kidman look younger and more natural.
Every time I look to "Grace Kelly biopic", Rosamund Pike comes to my mind... Is it me or she would be perfect for the role? Physical resemblances, natural look and a lot of talent to be recognized: Pike would be perfect, in my opinion! But Kidman is not a bad choice at all...
