Nicole Kidman Completely Transformed Herself For Her New Film DESTROYER; Check Out The First Photo

Wow! Nicole Kidman went through a crazy dark transformation for her upcoming new film Destroyer. As you can see in the first look photo above, it looks like she's gone through absolute hell. 

Kidman plays a police officer in the film that is haunted by her past. Her past obviously wasn't a happy one. The film comes from director Karyn Kusama, who previously directed The Invitation, which was a very unsettling thriller. Destroyer is described as "a contemporary and gritty noir in a verité Los Angeles" and this is the synopsis:

We first meet [Erin] Bell (Kidman) as she arrives at a murder scene, the type of place you sense she’s been many times before. She’s beaten down by the job — rough around the edges would be an understatement. This current case recalls a previous one, and a previous life too painful to remember. In an attempt to thwart violent bank robberies, Erin and her then partner, Chris, spent months undercover with a young gang of criminals, reminiscent of Bigelow’s Bodhi and his band of surfers. Though still haunted — her daughter would say numbed — by her past, reconnecting with it is the only way for Bell to right old wrongs and find a way forward… or at least a way out.

The photo comes from Vanity Fair and the director of the film talks about Kidman's unrecognizable look: 

"We always knew that what we wanted her to look like was a real middle-aged woman with a past that she wears on her face. With sun damage and sleep deprivation and stress and rage, just in her whole physical body."

Kusama goes on to describe the film as “a character study in disguise as a cop thriller,” and also says:

"We’ve all loved bank robbery stories as a place to start, because they almost never go well… There’s a kind of particular American madness to thinking you’ll be the one who gets away clean. We were really focusing on characters who weren’t criminal masterminds, but fringe dwellers of American society. Yet they still hold out the hope that they’d beat the system."

This sounds like it's going to make for a fascinating film and I'm especially looking forward to seeing Kidman's performance. 

Destroyer also stars Tatiana Maslany, Sebastian Stan, and Bradley Whitford, and will hit theaters on December 25, 2018. What do you think of Kidman's look in the film?
