Nicole Kidman was recently honored with the AFI Life Achievement prize and delivered a moving acceptance speech by name-dropping every director she’s worked with over the years. Her list included big names like Stanley Kubrick, Jane Campion, Gus Van Sant, Yorgos Lanthimos, Sofia Coppola, and more.
However, in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, The Perfect Couple actress revealed the filmmakers she would love to collaborate with in the future. “I’ve always said I want to work with [Martin] Scorsese if he does a film with women,” the actress joked.
She also mentioned names like Kathryn Bigelow, Spike Jones, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Michael Haneke. Kidman also admitted that she’s open to working with budding filmmakers. “there’s so many, and I’m always open to the discovery of new people,” she added.
The actress explained that it is exciting to watch a filmmaker’s trajectory evolve through constant hard work and effort. Kidman has worked with directors who have really hit their stride in recent years after overcoming rough patches.
The actress revealed that director Karyn Kusama was one of them. Despite feeling frustrated over the lack of opportunities to create something she found intriguing, she eventually found her way to bigger projects. “I worked with Karyn Kusama on ‘Destroyer,’ and she’s gone on to ‘Yellowjackets’ and so many big things now,” Kidman added.
Although Scorsese is on her dream list of directors she’d like to work with, she’s inclined toward working with a female-heavy cast and has proven her intention by working on shows like Big Little Lies. Scorsese is known to headline male-dominated films but he has made an effort to make films with women at the forefront.
His 1974 drama Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore led by Ellen Burstyn could be counted as one and his recent Oscar-nominated flick Killers of the Flower Moon, which had a sizable role for Lily Gladstone alongside male co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
But the film he was most criticized for was The Irishman because of Anna Paquin’s diminished role. Throughout the three-and-a-half-hour movie, she only had a single-line dialogue which the director later claimed to be a deliberate choice.
Full House star Dave Coulier revealed that he has been diagnosed with a “very aggressive” type of cancer. In conversation with People Magazine, the actor opened up on his health complications.
Coulier shared that he initially had an infection in his upper respiratory system, which was diagnosed in October. He revealed that it caused swelling in his lymph nodes, which the doctors recommended he get tested.
He went on to reveal to the media portal, “Three days later, my doctors called me back and they said, ‘We wish we had better news for you, but you have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and it’s called B cell and it’s very aggressive.’”
The actor further added, “I went from getting a little bit of a head cold to having cancer, and it was pretty overwhelming. This has been a really fast roller coaster ride of a journey.”
Coulier went on to reveal that his wife and a few friends from the medical field came together to implement a plan that included the treatment map and the chances of survival.
In his interview further, Coulier stated, “We all kind of put our heads together and said, ‘Okay, where are we going?’ And they had a very specific plan for how they were going to treat this.” He continued to add, “At that point, my chances of curable went from something low to a 90 percent range. And so that was a great day.”

Coulier ended his conversation by saying, “Take great care of yourself, because there’s a lot to live for. And if that means talking with your doctors or getting a mammogram or a breast exam or colonoscopy, it can really make a big change in your life.”
