Here’s The Full Trailer For “Being The Ricardos” Starring Nicole Kidman As Lucille Ball

There’s a tiny off-camera, post-credits half-cackle in the just-released official trailer for Being The Ricardos that sounds kiiiinda like Lucille Ball but I’m not convinced it came from Nicole Kidman. I think it might have come from Lucy’s ghost since Nic’s face looks more like a smooth, well-kneaded hunk of dough with two raisins pushed in if for eyes than her famous mug. And not since Sally Field in Sybil has an actor done so many different and distinct voices for a single character. But hey, I’m not one to dwell on the negative. Just off the top of my head, what I can say about Nic’s performance based on this trailer is she’s got great wigs, beautiful wigs.

Being The Ricardo’s is written and directed by Aaron Sorkin and has been officially sanctioned by Lucie Arnaz, the daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz (played by Javier Bardem), who is also a producer. It will open in “select theaters” on December 10th and on Amazon Prime soon thereafter. And I’m going to guess that Nicole’s private AMC is the “select theaters.” Nobody else needs to bother finding just the perfect sequined pantsuit for this one. In fact, I think the smaller the screen the better. You’ll be squinting either way. Here’s the trailer.

I’m sorry it just looks boring to me. I don’t know who other than Lucie Jr. really cares about “one production week on the set of ‘I Love Lucy,’ during which Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz receive some upsetting news that could jeopardize both their marriage and their careers. ” We want to see Lucy cosplay and Nicole is not serving that today. Look at the chalkboard it says right there, she’s got a prix fixe menu that includes an appetizer of raisins for eyes, a ham and cheese Cubano sandwich made with imported jamón from Spain, and an assortment of beautiful wigs for dessert.
