Nicole Kidman knows something about transforming for a role. But this time around, she said the face prosthetics (if you have not seen "The Hours," literally, what are you doing?) For a severe make-up in her new movie "The Destroyer."
The first trailer for the thriller crime helmed by "Jennifer's Body" director Karyn Kusama arrived on Wednesday, and it shows the Academy Award-winner as you've never seen her before.
Kidman stars as LAPD Detective Erin Bell, whose undercover mission with a California gang that includes "Avengers" star Sebastian Stan goes horribly wrong. Years later, she's still dealing with the fallout with her daughter when the leader of the gang suddenly resurfaces with a vengeance.
"I grew up on these kind of movies," Kidman told Entertainment Weekly about her role as the hardened detective. "I watched [Al] Pacino play these roles, I watched all the men in the '70s get the chance to do it, but I do not have a female [equivalent]. That's exciting to get lucky with that. "
The film has been received at the Telluride Film Festival last month, with many critics calling Kidman's performance to be a better contender and Oscar winner.
"This character is so far removed from me, so that's part of the appeal as an actor: going to places," Kidman told Entertainment Weekly of the acting challenge. "I'm all about finding characters and stories that [make me] go, 'This is new, but it's still emotionally relevant.' "
"Destroyer," which is set to hit theaters Dec. 25, also Toby Kebbell stars, Tatiana Maslany and Bradley Whitford.
