Because although books like Tate have a large number of fan readers, this does not guarantee that the film adaptation will also achieve breakthrough commercial success. On the contrary, there are more and more cases that this kind of story will choose TV as the carrier. Those TV series with 6, 8, or 10 episodes can give actors more time to explore and explore their characters, conflicts and world.
Nicole Kidman experienced all this in "Lies and Lies" (2017). This TV series produced by HBO and adapted from Liane Moriarty's novel has reached its second season after its great success. Recently, Nicole played a socialite Samantha Barbour in a movie adapted from "Goldfinch". She took in an orphan who had survived a tragic explosion. Although the little boy had some emotional problems, Barbour still saw the boy be engaged with his daughter.
Nicole believes that her return to the big screen is the right choice. "Long drama is great, but at the same time you want to see such a movie on the big screen," the award-winning actress told Mtime.com reporters at this week's Toronto Film Festival." Sometimes you will have such a moment, you will say,'Please, let's see that, give us that.'"
"The reason I say this is because hearing this is really important," Kidd Man continued. "Warner Bros. is doing a great job at the moment. Because after Walt Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, the number of studios was reduced, which made the situation more and more difficult. So when Warner Bros. said,'No, we will do Very complex, rich, and compact movies, we will also put the power of the studio into it. This is very rare.

Better yet, they said they will continue to do this."
"That's why I and Other actors will stand up and express support for such a movie. Because when we do this, the studio will feel, "OK, they will stand up and support," and then the studio will continue to support and promote this type "The movie," Nicole said at the end, "I believe this is the essence of art. You must continue to work hard to show that you will not stop because of market changes. We will continue to work hard and we will continue to promote and work hard. Try, not just say'oh, it's different now, (some) things are over'."
