Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem are set to play one of television's most iconic television duos Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in Aaron Sorkin's upcoming biopic "Being the Ricardos".
The film will focus on a single production week (Monday table read through Friday audience filming) of Ball and Arnaz's TV show "I Love Lucy", when the two are faced with situations that could end both their careers and their marriage.
Sorkin also penned the script. The film is being developed by Amazon Studios and Escape Artist. Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch will produce. Jenna Block, David Bloomfield of Escape Artists, Stuart Besser, Lucie Arnaz, Desi Arnaz, Jr and Lauren Lohman will executive produce.
A production start date has not been set, yet, due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down most projects filming in the U.S.
Kidman can next be seen in the Hulu series "Nine Perfect Strangers" and she recently wrapped production on Robert Eggers' Vikings movie "The Northman". Bardem is currently filming Disney's live-action "Little Mermaid", in which he plays King Triton.
