The film follows Hollywood couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, played by Kidman and Bardem respectively, during a production week on the set of “I Love Lucy.” Throughout a Monday table read all the way through an audience shot on Friday, both Ball and Arnaz face challenges that could end both of their careers and their marriage.
In the trailer, quick glimpses of the couple’s whirlwind life are shown accompanied by Kidman’s voiceover, with the first clear look at Kidman coming via the recreation of Ball’s iconic grape stomping scene. Sorkin has written the screenplay and helms the film for Amazon Studios and Escape Artists. Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch of Escape Artists are producers. Escape Artists’ Jenna Block and David Bloomfield serve as executive producers, along with Stuart Besser, Lucie Arnaz, Desi Arnaz Jr. and Lauren Lohman.with Chris Rock, she stated that the biopic will not be a remake of “I Love Lucy,” but will instead tackle series themes.
“Being the Ricardos” also navigates the racial barriers that the couple had to face, with Desi being discriminated against for being Cuban, and Lucille fighting for him to remain on the show. The trailer also announced a theatrical release date of Dec. 10 and a Prime Video release date of Dec. 21. Watch the full trailer below.
Kidman has done a few good movies, but as a diehard Lucille Ball fan, I just can’t picture her as lucy. I understand this is about Lucille the business woman, but nonetheless, she needs to be able to pull of Mrs Balls expressions to make the film work. Can’t do with Botox. My 2¢
NicoleKidman's face has not moved since 1997, so BeingTheRicardos better mold it to perfection to do LucilleBall any justice. Was CateBlanchett not available or what?! SHOW me the receipts!
Wow, Bewitched and now Lucy. Okay I guess.
We all knew this would NOT WORK....
After watching the trailer, you can totally hear her Australian accent ... she's going to mess this movie up like she did Bewitched ... DebraMessing would have been my choice.
Ugh. Why did they cast the most boring actress in the world to play Lucille Ball?
No, na na, no no no. 🙁
Speaking of Lucy's hangout at Ciro's, it's amazing to me that Hollywood has never made a biopic about founder Billy Wilkerson, one of the town's most important and colorful characters. Maybe it's because that would reveal that it, not D.C., initiated the Red Scare PeterAPeel
Casting failure. Not interested.
