Nicole Kidman has new projects

Nicole Kidman is set to challenge her Mission: Impossible, starring ex-husband Tom Cruise on the big screen after signing on to play an action woman in a new espionage thriller. The actress will also produce the untitled project, which is described by insiders as a female-led The Bourne Identity. Mr. and Mrs. Smith screenwriter Simon Kinberg is reportedly writing the script for the film. Ironically, Kidman was originally attached to star alongside Brad Pitt in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but dropped out to allow Angelina Jolie to take her place.
