Nicole Kidman to star in Karyn Kusama’s Destroyer

Nicole Kidman, who just took home an Emmy Award for Big Little Lies, is set to star in director Karyn Kusama’s Los Angeles crime thriller Destroyer, according to Variety.

The trade says Kidman “will portray an LAPD detective who, as a young cop, was placed undercover with a cult-like gang in the California desert. When the leader of that gang re-emerges many years later, she must work her way back through the remaining members and into her own history with them to finally reckon with the demons that destroyed her past.”

Kusama (The Invitation, Jennifer’s Body, Æon Flux)will direct from a screenplay by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi (The Invitation, Ride Along).

30West will fully finance the film. La La Land producer Fred Berger of Automatik is producing alongside Hay and Manfredi.

“Phil and Matt have written one of the most compelling screenplays I’ve ever read, Nicole is at the top of her game — doing tremendously exciting work — and Karyn is one of the most assured voices working today,” Berger said. “It’s a powerful combination, sure to produce an iconic character, and I feel lucky to be in their company.”
