The New York Post reports that Kidman and Bardem are in talks for a biopic called Being The Ricardos. Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, A Few Good Men) is writing the screenplay and directing. The film is set during a rehearsal and production of an “I Love Lucy” episode, at a time when Lucy and Desi’s marriage was in trouble.
Cate Blanchett was originally attached to the film when Amazon bought the rights in 2017. I think Nicole Kidman is a better choice. No release date has been set for Being the Ricardos.
