Nicole Kidman and Brad Pitt


I know that the original choice of Mrs Smith was Aishwayra Rai. Later Nicole signed on and after her leaving the project Brad dropped out too.

What do you think? Would they have made a good on-screen couple? Personally I would have loved to see them together.

Yeah,Nicole could have been an interesting choice.She's also about the same age as Brad.Angelina is too young but i think she can definitely play "older" caracters as well.

Nicole wouldn't be able to bring the same physicality to the role of Jane Smith IMO. It would have been a completely different film.

Agreed. She doesn't seem as naughty and tough as Angelina Jolie. Also the sparks between the two would be somewhat missing.

This is Walter Cronkite saying, "I told you so".

I could definitely see Nicole in the part.

I dont know why Aishwarya was the first choice - i SO cannot see her in this role, not in a million years...

And i'm not sure the name Jane Smith would work well with an indian woman!

Hmmm i think Angelina was the perfect choice, yeh her acting wasnt brilliant but she somehow managed to pull it off... Same goes with Brad

reply

I agree with Sushmita and Shilpa. Those both would have been good choices. I think, with them, the film would have retained the feel it has today. But both Nicole and Aishwariya would not have been good choices. I don't think either of them are funny or tough in any anyway.

reply

I can't see Nicole in that part. She's probably a better actor than Jolie, but Jolie fits the action genre more.

reply

Kidman would have been good, but Angelina's facial expressions(when Brad looks at her when he thinks she's poisoning him and when Brad accidentally shoots her car) in this and her gruff voice when she talks tough was priceless.

I cannot picture Nicole Kidman or the other actress in the role, it seems just perfect for Angelina

Rhona Mitra...but she is not that high profile

reply

Rhona Mitra is too manish faced.

Rhona Mitra looks like a man???

And I don't know how we can tell it since Nicole and Brad have never been paired together. But, I agree that I couldn't see the chemitstry. May be due to her though...she seems a little cold to me.

what about halle berry??? she would have been perfect along side brad!
