Kidman does not need to take notes when it comes to "disturbing touches". In the same interview that Jeff has the link to, he mentioned that Kidman made him sad because she made his wildest ideas become conventional because she was not afraid nor did she hesistate to do what he asked. Kidman has worked with enough "out there" with "mad ideas" directors so I was not surprised with Chan Wook's testimony about her character as an actress. I think because of her work in mainstream films, people forget that Kidman is one of the very few high-profile actresses that actually do "uncensored" work in films as long as the director has the balls "to go there". I mean, this is the same actress who wore a dog collar for Lars Von Trier and planned to elope with a 12 year old kid for Jonathan Glazier.

Yeah, there's a new interview that surfaced last week (in Korean) where Park mentioned that Glass was composing the piano pieces that characters (or maybe just Mia) play throughout the film. He also mentioned Mansell was doing the score in London (guessing this is where this story originated) and he also mentioned that he's made some changes to Wentworth Miller's script. Most notably, Kidman's part has been "expanded and deepened" from the first draft of the script that was floating around the internet:

I adore all of Park's films so I can't wait to see this. Hopefully it goes to Venice.

YAY! I love Clint's work. I read somewhere that Mia's character plays the piano and that Glass composed a piece that she is supposed to play.
