NY Magazine is reporting that Nicole Kidman will be re-teaming with The Hours [watch the trailer] author Michael Cunningham to create a biopic about the late, great songstress Dusty Springfield of "Son of a Preacher Man" fame. This time, Cunningham will be penning the screenplay, and he's said it will be the "real Dusty," including all her troubles as much as her successes.
"She was a great artist who no one knew what to do with," he said. "She was coming into her full powers at the same time the Beatles were," he said, adding that she suddenly found herself the purveyor of a dying torchy genre. "But she is clearly going into history with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones."
