Kidman rounded her list out in the interview by mentioning her desire to work with directors Kathryn Bigelow, Spike Jonze, Paul Thomas Anderson and Michael Haneke.
She also added that “there’s a whole slew of new up-and-coming directors” that she’d love to work with.
“There’s so many and I’m always open to the discovery of new people. And I find it really exciting when you go, ‘Here’s someone that’s so experienced and has been working and working, but they’ve now really hit their stride’,” she said.
