Eyes Wide Open

Movie trailers are usually pretentious, overly dramatic, overly long and (usually) avoided by yours truly.  However, I spotted a trailer for one of my favourites Nicole Kidman in Paperboy.  When I say one of my favourites, it's not as if I have a list of them, adding/deleting depending on what they do, it's just that Nicole (and others) are always worth looking at.  It's not a girl thing either before you jump to conclusions (although it does influence the 'list'), I have non-girls on there as well such as Matt Damon, but I must admit it is dominated by girls. Kiera is another one, up there with Nicole and at the moment, no one else springs to mind although there's Jack Nicholson and that English bloke who I always forget - is it Hugh Jackman or similar?  Anyway, I watched the Paperboy trailer with a slutty Southern Nicole dominating nearly every scene (or did I just imagine that?) and it's about a reinvestigation of a murder case in the deep south as far as I can see, so there's a white v. black aspect that sets the tension.  But the one thing that surprised me was the credits at the end - 'Starring someone, someone else, someone else again' then 'With Nicole Kidman'.  'With'??  It seemed to me that it was implying that she was just an 'extra' brought in to give the film some star act but not really taking part - something that the trailer definitely did not give an impression of.  I might go and watch it just to see. Although I doubt it.
