Lucie Arnaz settles the Nicole Kidman vs. Debra Messing casting choice in Lucy/Desi biopic
Since ONTD has been wondering what on earth production was thinking with these casting choices..
Lucie Arnaz, Lucy and Desi Arnaz s daughter, addressed this topic in two posts from her official facebook page.
In this first video post back in January, Lucie addressed specifically why Nicole Kidman was chosen over Debra Messing:
In a Second Post in April, Lucie explains in more detail why Nicole Kidman was the agreed upon casting choice between her and director, Aaron Sorkin
TL;DR of video/2nd post for people who are not in the mental space to watch a video or want to be on FB:
¿Se parece Nicole Kidman a Lucille Ball? Internet opina que no nacion.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from nacion.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
But Kidman’s casting also came with some criticism from fans. The couple s daughter Lucie Arnaz, who will serve as an executive producer of the film alongside her brother Desi Arnaz, Jr., responded to these reactions in a Facebook video in January. Here’s the deal and what you should understand: We re not doing a remake of
I Love Lucy,” she said. “No one has to impersonate Lucy Ricardo [or do] any of the silly things. It s the story of Lucille Ball, my actual mother not Lucy Ricardo and her husband, Desi Arnaz, my dad not Ricky Ricardo.
The plot will follow the couple through a “crisis.”

Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem are slipping into character. The pair were nearly unrecognizable as they filmed a scene in Los Angeles last week for their upcoming movie,
Kidman plays Lucille Ball in the movie, while Bardem stars as her husband, Desi Arnaz and the two certainly looked the part. The 53-year-old
Big Little Lies star took it back to the 50s in a retro ensemble that included yellow slacks, a checkered coat and a scarf around her head. Bardem, 52, was a little more dressed up, wearing a suit with a green jacket.
