But then I&#8217;ve been too busy or too tired. There are still things I want to do as an actor,&#8221; she said, noting that she wants to do more theatre in the U.S. &#8220;Right now is not the time for me to do that; I&#8217;ve got to take care of these kids. That&#8217;s sort of in my &#8216;Future&#8217; folder.&#8221;<br \/>The Australian actress, who has two teenage daughters, noted that she believes film is a director&#8217;s medium, so she will always try to help fulfil their vision, even if she disagrees with their idea. <br \/>&#8220;There&#8217;ll be a point sometimes when I&#8217;m producing and I want to disagree, but the idea of taking something from the director and not having their ultimate vision realised? That&#8217;s just not right. I should direct if I want to control that,&#8221; she added. <br \/>Kidman has made it her priority to work with female writers and directors for several years. As part of that mission, she made sure a female director was hired to helm the upcoming Practical Magic sequel. <br \/>She shared, &#8220;It&#8217;s so good to have found a purpose in terms of that work, being able to shift something culturally at a time where you just go, &#8216;Well, yeah, I work a lot, and I&#8217;m hoping to be able to give female directors and writers far more of a chance through my own showing up and being in the thing.'&#8221; <br \/>Practical Magic 2 was directed by Susanne Bier, who previously worked with Kidman on her TV shows The Undoing and The Perfect Couple and her co-star Sandra Bullock on the 2018 movie Bird Box. <br \/>The film, a sequel to the 1998 movie Practical Magic, will be released in September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nicole Kidman has considered directing her own movie.The Moulin Rouge! star is a prolific actress and producer, however,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":650396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,171,134221,1046,45938,276198,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-650395","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-moulin-rouge","11":"tag-nicole-kidman","12":"tag-practical-magic","13":"tag-prolific-actress","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116216547081280611","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
