Nicole Kidman joins cop thriller “Destroyer”

Nicole Kidman will star in the Los Angeles crime thriller “Destroyer” from director Karyn Kusama.

She will portray an LAPD detective who, as a young cop, was placed undercover with a cult-like gang in the California desert. When the leader of that gang re-emerges many years later, she must work her way back through the remaining members and into her own history with them to finally reckon with the demons that destroyed her past.

Casting is currently underway on the film. Kusama will direct from an original screenplay by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi.

Kidman starred in HBO's hit limited series “Big Little Lies”, which just earned her an Emmy Award. Her recent film credits include Sofia Coppola's “The Beguiled” and Yorgos Lanthimos' “Killing of a Sacred Deer”.

The Australian actress has been nominated for four Academy Awards, winning for her performance in Stephen Daldry's “The Hours”.
