Row over Kidman's film romp with youngster 10:31 BST, Sunday 13th June 2004 -- by Neil Wilkes Nicole Kidman has been caught up in a row over a new film which features her kissing a ten-year-old boy while naked.
In the movie, called Birth, Kidman plays a widow who believes the boy to be a reincarnation of her husband.
Two scenes in particular have come under fire; in both, Kidman and the boy - Canadian child actor Cameron Bright - are "completely naked and caressing each other." In one of them, there is a close-up of " a very passionate kiss" as they sit in the bathtub together.
"The last thing on earth Nicole needs is a movie which is going to be jumped on by sickos and used in some perverse way to promote paedophilia," a source told the Daily Star Sunday today. "But truth is, the publicity department is already describing the movie as a nightmare. The producers, director and Nicole herself are likely to face a lot of flack."
It will cost film studo New Line around $50 million if they decide to axe the movie altoegther.

Synopsis: A woman in her 30s (Nicole Kidman), living in New York City, is surprised to meet a little 10-year-old boy, David (Cameron Bright), who seems to have a crush on her, who then claims to be be the reincarnation of her husband, who died ten years ago. In reaction to David's revelation, she starts questioning the decisions she's made over the course of her life, much to the frustration of her family (Lauren Bacall plays her mother), best friend (Anne Heche) and fiance (Danny Huston).
LOL. I would tell you that I'm already married, but I think the Supreme Court is on the way to declaring that marriage can be between more than two people. So I'll just say, I'm flattered and monogamous.
Ever heard of a movie called "Tadpole"?
The boy?
I believe the man in question was Keith Carradine.
And people ask me why I never go to the movies anymore...
It won't be her first.
HINT: If one of them says "yes", stop asking.
Espescially if the screen name is Classygreeneyedblonde or something similar.
What was Jill Clayburg thinking?
What was I thinking?
The average ten year old boy is larger than Cruise or his stunt doubles.
My wife and sister in law are long time nurses. Over the years they have developed the ability to watch people in action to determine if the people are all there mentally.
They live 2000 miles apart, but after watching something on tv about a year ago, they had to talk to each other. One made a phone call to the other and their observations were that Kidman had lost it.
I am NOT related to Nicole Kidman.
What is the story concerning classygreeneyedblonde? There used to be regular posts, then, like she dropped off the earth.
The bedroom door cannot be allowed to become a "cordon sanitaire" to protect beasts. Policing behavior is the job of decent governments. BTW one of the nastiest movie posters I've ever seen showed Goldie Hawn with her head in her shorts-wearing "son's" lap...
Yeah I wouldn't be very sure --- anything can be called art apparently --- a naked sexual 10 year old in a movie???? This is the start --- but they obviously have to start with adult women pedophiles having sex with young children. Later it can be men with young children.
"I am NOT related to Nicole Kidman."
Who said you were?
