During an interview with The Guardian about her new movie Babygirl, Nicole Kidman – the actress and producer – mentioned her desire to revisit her character Grace from Alejandro Amenábar’s 2001 film, The Others. Reese Witherspoon, one of her Big Little Lies co-stars, asked which role she would like to explore further or if there was any that stood out more than others for Kidman. The Academy Award winner replied: “I’d really enjoy revisiting the character I played in The Others, Grace, because I think The Others is often overlooked and I adored that character.
In the eyes of many horror enthusiasts, “The Others” stands out as one of the most compelling haunted house films, delivering a surprising twist that left viewers both startled and delighted by its unforeseen ending. Nicole Kidman portrays Grace, a mother of two light-sensitive children residing in an aged family manor on the Channel Islands. The story unfolds shortly after World War II ended in 1945, with Grace anxiously awaiting news from her husband Charles (Christopher Eccleston), who is away fighting. As new employees with suspicious motives appear at the house, Grace gradually becomes convinced that the estate may be haunted.
In a nutshell, “The Others” was recognized with two BAFTA nominations: Best Screenplay – Original and Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (Kidman). Moreover, it bagged the Saturn Award for Best Horror Film in 2002, and Kidman received the award for Best Actress. Fionnula Flanagan also won the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress as Mrs. Mills. As per The Numbers, Amenábar’s production garnered around $208 million at the global box office on a budget of merely $17 million.
Reflecting on my conversation with L’Officiel in August 2024, I excitedly shared that not only do I appreciate the thrill of “hardcore horror” movies, but I harbor an unfulfilled desire to be part of such a project. As of yet, I haven’t tackled the challenge of classic horror, and I yearn to dive into the world of hardcore horror. So, I’m throwing this out there – I’m a big fan of Ti West’s work and would love the opportunity to collaborate with him on a horror film!
The conversation about terror also prompted Kidman to confess that when James Wan proposed she star in Aquaman, she initially thought it was for a horror movie and was eager to collaborate with him in that genre. Being a fan of the horror genre, Kidman didn’t hesitate to suggest the 2022 Australian horror success, Talk to Me.
Nicole Kidman might not be returning to her character from The Others anytime in the near future, but she is set to collaborate with Sandra Bullock again in a Practical Magic sequel. Akiva Goldsman, one of the original writers, will continue the tale of the Owens sisters for this film, which will draw inspiration from Alice Hoffman’s book, The Book of Magic.
The Others is available to stream on AMC+.
