Nicole Kidman is teaming up with director, and fellow Aussie, Justin Kurzel on the thriller “Mice.” Based on Gordon Reece’s novel, the psychological thriller will tackle a mother and daughter pushed to their limits by an unwelcome guest at their home. Reece is penning the screenplay. Kurzel, celebrated indie filmmaker of “Macbeth,” and “Nitram,” already has “The Order” in post-production, and that one might premiere at Cannes later this year.
The ‘Smile’ franchise has a new director. David Bruckner, who made “The Night House” and the 2022 “Hellraiser” reboot, has been hired to direct “Smile 3” for Paramount.
