Nicole Kidman is Coming to Lifetime? Huh?
Nicole Kidman is Coming to Lifetime? Huh? Nicole Kidman …in a Lifetime movie?
After years of delays and being taken off the release schedule indefinitely, the Kidman-starring Grace of Monaco is skipping the theaters entirely and airing on Lifetime on May 25, according to the network.
The film, which was directed by Olivier Dahan, was originally supposed to be released in theaters in November 2013 before it was delayed indefinitely in January 2014. It then premiered at Sundance in May to some not-so-favorable reviews, and currently sits at 9% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Grace of Monaco takes place in 1962, six years after former Hollywood actress Grace Kelly, played by Kidman, married Prince Rainier III of Monaco, and finds the princess wanting to return to her acting career until politics get in the way. According to reports, the royal family of Monaco had serious objections to the movie and said that many scenes were totally fictional, and that makers of the film ignored their requests for changes.
