Being the Ricardos teaser: Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball recreates the iconic grape stomping scene

If you have been following or even keeping Hollywood classics on your mind, there's a rare chance that you will miss the name of Lucille Ball of I Love Lucy fame. After entertaining the world with the iconic sitcom in the 1950s, now you can catch a glimpse of Nicole Kidman embodying Ball in the upcoming biopic titled Being the Ricardos. Kidman is featuring alongside Javier Bardem as Desi Arnaz who was Ball's husband for 20 years. 

The teaser of Being the Ricardos is out and the 97 seconds long video has a voiceover of the Nine Perfect Strangers actor by showcasing the couple Ball and Arnaz's busy life starting from Monday table read to an audience shot on Friday. During the same, they also face challenges in their careers as well as marriage. 

Kidman also does Ball's iconic grape stomping scene in the teaser which shows her clearer view as the iconic Hollywood star. 

While describing the premise of Being the Ricardos, Amazon Prime Video, in a statement wrote, "Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) and Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem) are threatened by shocking personal accusations, a political smear and cultural taboos in Academy Award®-winning writer and director Aaron Sorkin’s behind-the-scenes drama Being the Ricardos. A revealing glimpse of the couple’s complex romantic and professional relationship, the film takes audiences into the writers’ room, onto the soundstage and behind closed doors with Ball and Arnaz during one critical production week of their groundbreaking sitcom I Love Lucy."

Earlier during an interaction with Variety, Kidman clarified that the film is not a biopic. The actor stated, "The strange thing about Lucille Ball is that everyone thinks we're remaking the I Love Lucy show, and it's so not that. It's about Lucy and Desi and their relationship and their marriage. It's very deep."

Directed and penned by Aaron Sorkin of The Trial of the Chicago 7 fame, Being the Ricardos is set to hit the big screens on December 10, 2021. Soon after that, the film will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on December 21, 2021.
