Nicole Kidman is attached to star in and produce "The Eighth Wonder," an
action-adventure centering on an archeological discovery that sets off a
globe-spanning race.
The script will be written for 20th Century Fox by Simon Kinberg, who pitched
it to the studio.
Kidman and Kinberg met when working on "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," which the
scribe wrote and the actress was to have starred in. When she dropped out
because of scheduling reasons, the two teamed for an untitled spy thriller that
never came to fruition. But Kidman and Kinberg looked for something to work on
together, and "The Eighth Wonder" was ultimately hatched.
Kidman next stars in Fox's latest Baz Luhrmann extravaganza, "Australia,"
which opens Nov. 26.
