See Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball in Stunning New Movie Trailer

Nicole Kidman stars as the legendary Lucille Ball in an upcoming film titled Being the Ricardos, and she's sharing a look at her uncanny transformation as the beloved comic actor in a new movie trailer she's posted online.

Kidman is set to star in Being the Ricardos, which is slated for release on Dec. 10. Javier Bardem plays her husband, Desi Arnaz, and in the trailer Kidman shared via social media, the famously fiery couple struggle with their tempestuous marriage, which was fraught with rumors of infidelity, jealousy and anger.

Ball and Arnaz starred as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo on I Love Lucy, which ran from 1951-1957, became the most-watched show on television at the time, and has gone on to become one of the most iconic TV sitcoms of all time. The show's light tone did not reflect their real-life relationship, and Ball and Arnaz divorced in 1960.

According to IMDb, Being the Ricardos "follows Lucy and Desi as they face a crisis that could end their careers and another that could end their marriage." In one particularly affecting moment from the trailer, Bardem's character tells Kidman's character that if the audience boos her, "We're done."

The film also recreates some of the most iconic scenes from the beloved series, allowing fans to see Kidman channeling Ball's own performances.

Kidman's transformation into Ball in the trailer is uncanny, not only in her appearance but especially in her voice and facial expressions. Her performance elicited raves from her Instagram followers, including Brad Paisley's wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, who responded by writing, "This looks awesome!"

Kidman's close friend, actor Naomi Watts, also chimed in, writing, "Wowza I cannot wait. You look incredible!"

Being the Ricardos is set for release in theaters on Dec. 10 and via Amazon Prime Video on Dec. 21.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman paid $3.5 million for an approximately 1600-square-foot, two-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom condo in the upper-crust Tribeca area of Manhattan in New York City in 2020. The luxury unit is located inside of the famous clock tower building in Tribeca, which developers acquired for $160 million in 2013. The building previously housed the New York Life Insurance Company, and the developers converted the 400,000-square-foot building into luxury condos in 2018.

Photos at the building's website show a spectacular array of amenities available to residents, including rooftop gardens, an indoor pool, a fully-equipped fitness center, dining areas and more. According to reports, one of the features that attracted Urban and Kidman to the building is a "sky garage" that allows residents' cars to be hydraulically lifted to their units, which lets the high-profile couple avoid the prying eyes of paparazzi.
