Nicole Kidman to reunite with von Trier

The controversial director plans to cast two stars in the third part of his American trilogy.

May 26 2005

Lars von Trier is considering casting both Nicole Kidman and Bryce Dallas Howard in the third part of his American trilogy, 'Washington'.

Kidman played the character Grace in 'Dogville', while Bryce Dallas Howard performed the same role in 'Manderlay', which premiered at Cannes earlier this month (see here for review).

Von Trier has announced that he may split Grace into two characters for the forthcoming final part, one good and one evil, although both actresses apparently want to play the evil role.

'The original agreement for 'Washington' was for both Bryce Dallas Howard and Nicole Kidman to participate in February,' he told Screen Daily. 'It's now postponed. I'll write it when the right ideas and the subject shows itself to me as a necessity.'

Before then von Trier will shoot the Dogme film 'The Manager of it All'.

    me parrece que me parece una muy buena idea de de que el la tercera parte salgan Bryce Dallas Howard y Nicole Kidman me parecen las dos buenas actrices y si ya vi dogville y manderlay y las dos me encantaron aunque algunas personas no por que la denominan aburrida y cosas asi por el teatro la casas pintadas el pero la mina las plantas el jardin de la anciana etc.
    pero ami me encanta ese cine y son de mis peliculas favoritas tdo apesar de en Dogville las ecenas de violaciones a grace y en Manderlay la ecena de sexo muy fuerte entre Grace y Timothy pero me encataron ya sea Byce dallas howard o Nicole Kidman.
    Y espero con ancias la tercera parte Washington pero espero que termine en final no tan decepcionante son buenos finales pero no terminan feliz pero son buenisimas pelicula ya espero con ancias Washington. Posted on Jul 03 2008 20:47
