Lucy Punch/Nicole Kidman


I just saw this movie and I just read that Lucy Punch was a last-minute substitute for Nicole Kidman who was unavailable. It is hard to believe that Punch could substitute for Kidman or even that Nicole would want such a daft role.

A daft role ? I think it was a great one, on the contrary. You mistake the part with the character.
Playing a daft personn is extremely difficult and I think that Lucy Punch did a terrific job.
I understand perfectly Kidman wanting to play that part.

^If Kidman had wanted the part as badly as you say, she would have made herself available.

reply

OK. Have it your way.

... Lucy Punch did a terrific job.
Second that! She's a great comic actress and the film loses absolutely nothing with her in the part. Worth checking her out in Bad Teacher with Cameron Diaz among other stuff, where she completely steals the show.🐭

reply

I agree, it's odd...makes me wonder if there was more to it than this official line.

reply

Rabbit Hole was her pet. She likely would have left anything to make it.

Especially since she received her third (and last, as of now) Oscar nomination for it.
