Nicole Kidman is an actress who has done it all -- well, almost.
The "Big Little Lies" star, 57, opened up about her desire to do a "classic horror" film in an interview with L'Officiel as the magazine's September 2024 global cover star.
Nicole Kidman opens up about making 'Eyes Wide Shut' with ex-husband Tom Cruise"I've not done classic horror yet," she said, clarifying, "Hardcore horror."
"I'm putting it out there, because I watch hardcore horror," the Australian actress added.
Kidman lauded last year's horror breakout "Talk to Me" from twin filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou -- two Aussies known as RackaRacka on YouTube -- and director Ti West, who won fans over with the trilogy of "X," "Pearl" and "Maxxxine" in recent years, as some of her recent favorites.
It's not as though Kidman hasn't dabbled in the genre throughout her career. Look no further than the likes of 2001's "The Others," 2013's "Stoker" and 2017's "Killing of a Sacred Deer," all of which took a psychological approach to horror.
Kidman said she thought James Wan -- co-creator of the "Saw" franchise and creator of "The Conjuring" franchise -- wanted her to star in a horror project when he sought her out for "Aquaman."
"I'd really wanted to work with him in horror," she recalled.
Kidman can next be seen alongside Harris Dickinson in A24's "Babygirl," in theaters Dec. 25.
