Website releases footage of Kidman crash
Quote:
Footage of Nicole Kidman's high-speed car crash while shooting an action scene for her new science fiction movie shows the Australian actress gingerly walking away from the accident.

Well she walked away from it. No doubt she will get the best medical attention.
She'll be right, I hope

Yep, was being towed by a truck which the car was attached to.
If you've seen the making of The Fast & Furious, you see the green Eclipse doing the same thing for the start of the movie. Puts the actor or actress into a moving vehical, so it looks good on film.

Womans day will undoubtedly pay mega bucks for the "horror" she endured. Whats the bet the glass from the street light that hit the car after the crash will be trivialised as well.
What was with that rag they tried to use to disguise her?
I've seen cleaner rags in the drawers beside my 16 year old cousins bed, right next to the hustler.

they did the trial runs in the dry but for the shots involving Nicole they wet the roads to give them that sheen and glossy look in the movie for impact.. The driver just went in alittle fast and the rear of the truck/tralior slide out...whooopee doo...

Yeah, they're making a huge deal about this when it's really nothing. She's back on set tonight. Just another channel nine beat-up... they were just lucky to be in the right place at the right time to catch a minor bingle. What a non piece of "news'.

and seriously where is the "high" speed? it was like 20kmph.

I loathe sensasionalism. like how channel 7 just empathised the high speed crash part and hospital part. no mention of the walking away unscathed part at all. and this was an actual news break too.

This is Hollywood right??

How come the light post was 'real'??

They should be protecting their investments (Niccy) and ensuring that anything that might get in HER way be all soft and cushy, like Keith....

on the news they say nicole had a crash in her jag at high speeds. it makes it sound like she was thrashing her car but then you see it being towed by a truck and the truck slides out. she would have been fine in that big safe car. what about the stunt men hanging off the outside of the car?, poor dude broke an arm lol

The most amazing part of all this garbage is that the original poster it would seem is actually somewhat concerned for the poor shaken up, broken fingernailed, messed up hair premodonna!!............

would have been better if she got ejected from the seat and ended up eating some pavement...
At least it would be more interesting than what really happened.

I reckon Kidman was the lucky one in that incident. She had a car around her to protect her. What about the poor blokes hanging from the roof

I had to laugh when they said she crashed at 75 kmh. It would have been lucky to be 7.5 kmh.
