Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem in Talks to Play Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in Aaron Sorkin-Directed Film

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.

Cate Blanchett Joins Lucille Ball Biopic Written by Aaron Sorkin

That's quite a dream team. It has been reported that double Oscar winner Cate Blanchett has signed on to star as iconic comedian Lucille Ball in an upcoming biopic that will be written by Aaron Sorkin ("Steve Jobs", "The Social Network").

The film will chronicle Ball's 20-year marriage to Desi Arnaz, her co-star on the TV sitcom "I Love Lucy", which ended in divorce. The couple's two children, Lucy Arnaz Jr. and Desi Arnaz Jr. will serve as producers, which should indicate that everything will meet the family's approval.

Blanchett can be seen this year in the drama "Carol" which has sparked some serious awards buzz, and will co-star with Robert Redford in another biopic, "Truth". She is also working on an untitled Terence Malick project and has co-starred in the director's "Knight of Cups", which opens next year.
