Nicole Kidman has signed on to star opposite Russell Crowe in
Eucalyptus, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
In the adaptation, a widower (Geoffrey Rush) plants hundreds of varieties of eucalyptus trees and then decrees that only a man who can name every one of them may marry his daughter Ellen (Kidman).
Although a number of suitors appear, she falls for a storytelling stranger who shares with her tales of faraway lands. Shooting due to begin in February.
