Nicole Kidman is heading back to Amazon Studios to headline the thriller Holland, which will see her take on a town full of dark secrets.
After starring as Lucille Ball in Amazon’s Being The Ricardos in 2021, earning her an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe win in the process, Nicole Kidman has reunited with Amazon MGM to produce and star in Holland, what has been dubbed as a Hitchcockian thriller.
The script, written by Andrew Sodroski, topped 2013’s Black List, the film industry’s countdown of the best unproduced screenplays.
Here’s a brief synopsis for the film, which was formerly titled Holland, Michigan:
‘A woman’s picture-perfect life in quaint Holland, Michigan crumbles, when she and a friend uncover a twisted secret in their midst.’
Mimi Cave, who helmed a really fun hit with 2022’s Fresh in her last directorial outing, is in the director’s chair. We’ve seen Kidman appear in this type of narrative set-up lots of times before, and she’s always absorbing to watch as the world around her character shifts into something unexpected. One recent example is a thriller of a different sort – director Harris Dickenson’s Babygirl, released in January.

The thriller sees the actor and producer in the role of Nancy Vandergroot, a Stepford Wives-like character in a tulip and windmill-filled town who has a community pillar husband, played by Matthew Macfadyen, and Jude Hill as her son. Nancy and her friend, played by Gael García Bernal, begin to wonder if the Michigan town has a secret, only to find out that ‘nothing in their lives is what it seems.’
The film releases on Amazon’s Prime Video streaming platform on March 27th. You can catch the trailer below.
