Tom Cruise<\/a>\u2019s marriage for inspiration for his \u2018Eyes Wide Shut\u2019 film.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nicole Kidman thinks Stanley Kubrick was carefully \u2018mining\u2019 her and Tom Cruise\u2019s marriage for inspiration for his \u2018Eyes Wide Shut\u2019 film<\/p>\n
The Oscar-winner, 57, starred alongside Tom, 62, in the 1999 movie, which saw her play the wife of Tom\u2019s doctor character Bill Hartford, who sends him reeling when she tells him she fantasised about sleeping with another man, sparking his descent into a shady underworld of orgies and satanic-style rituals controlled by society\u2019s most rich and powerful forces.<\/p>\n
Nicole \u2013 who married Tom nine years before the film came out and divorced him in 2001 \u2013 told the Los Angeles Times in an interview to mark the 25th anniversary of the film\u2019s release when asked whether Stanley was taking inspiration from their marriage for the project: \u201cI suppose he was mining it.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cThere were ideas (Stanley) was interested in. He\u2019d ask a lot of questions. But he had a strong sense of the story he was telling.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do remember him saying, \u2018(Relationship) triangles are hard. You have to tread carefully when it\u2019s a triangle\u2019. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cBecause one person could feel ganged up on. But he was aware of that and knew how to manage us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nNicole stressed she never felt \u201cganged up on\u201d as she and Tom had such different relationships with Stanley.<\/p>\n
\nShe went on: \u201cThere\u2019s something about being a woman in that equation, too. And Stanley liked women. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe had a different relationship with Tom. They worked more closely together on his character.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nFans have speculated shooting the film\u2019s intense scenes that delved into complex couple dynamics put a string on the A-listers\u2019 marriage, and Nicole said they spent weeks shooting one heavy scene that was eventually cut.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: \u201cIt was the scene with Tom and I where I start by smoking the spliff in bed and where I laugh and deliver the long monologue. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cThat took many weeks. A lot of that was rehearsing in the bedroom and then him not liking what we\u2019d done. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cSo we ended up reworking it, constructing it as we went along. There was no need to rush. Stanley would never go over budget. What he bought was time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhen Tom and I first started with Stanley, it was at his home, and we didn\u2019t even go over to the sets at Pinewood (Studios.)<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSix, eight weeks passed, and we\u2019re wondering, \u2018Are we ever going to start?\u2019 \u201cAnd we just wouldn\u2019t start. We were getting comfortable with each other, comfortable enough to throw out ideas. For that scene, we improvised the beginning of it through the rehearsals.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u2018Eyes Wide Shut\u2019 was met with a mixed critical reception when it came out but now has a cult following.<\/p>\n
\nIt was \u2018Full Metal Jacket\u2019 director Stanley\u2019s last work before his death on 7 March, 1999, aged 70.<\/p>\n
\nNicole and Tom adopted their two children, daughter Isabella, 31, and son Connor, 29, in 1992 and 1995 respectively, before their 2001 divorce.<\/p>\n
\nNicole is now settled with musician Keith Urban, 56, with whom she has daughters Sunday, 16, and 13-year-old Faith.<\/p>\n
\nTom was married to actress Katie Holmes, 45, from 2006 to 2012 and they had 18-year-old daughter Suri.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
