Nicole Kidman Reveals Torturous Recordings of ‘Eyes Wide Shut’

That was out set. Things were also intense on set, including the six-week rehearsal period for one particular scene. In an interview with the LA timesKidman said: “It was the scene with Tom and I where I start smoking the joint in bed and I laugh and deliver the long monologue.”

She added: “A lot of it was rehearsing in the bedroom and afterwards [Kubrick] not liking what we had done. So we ended up reworking it and building it as we went along. There was no need to rush. Stanley would never go over budget. What he bought was time.”

Kidman also admitted that the scene of her getting stoned was shown as part of her AFI Lifetime Achievement Award tribute on April 27. She joked, “They showed that and I was like, ‘Ooooh.’ Gol. OK.’ I sat next to my daughter on Sunday and watched it.”

Along with Sunday, Kidman also shares musician Faith, 13 Keith Urban.
