Nicole Kidman Ditches Woody Allen For Schweppes Ad

I questioned Nicole Kidman’s theatrical abilities several times but there’s undoubtedly something with Woody Allen’s movies that would make me forgive and forget Nicole’s artificial ways and enjoy her performance.

I was getting ready to like Nicole Kidman as filmed/directed by Woody Allen (just like I did ScarJo in Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona) when the most amazing thing just happened: Nicole Kidman walked away from Woody Allen’s project. How exactly do you do that? (the story continues right after the video)

Nicole may not be doing Woody’s film, but she’s doing a Schweppes commercial produced by Ridley Scott. The short promotional film also stars Rubina Ali (little Latika from Slumdog Millionaire) and Arjun Rampal (young Bollywood star). Choosing Schweppes over Woody Allen? “hey, what did you expect?” (via 1, 2)
