The famed director has done a few films in which the story revolves around a female lead, including 1977’s “New York, New York,” starring Liza Minnelli, and the 1974 film “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,” which won its star, Ellen Burstyn, a best actress Academy Award. The bulk of his movies, however, have been led by male actors.

Speaking to Vanity Fair in a Q&A published on Wednesday, November 13, Kidman, 57, threw some shade Scorsese’s way for his history of writing films centered entirely on male characters. “I’ve always said I want to work with [Martin] Scorsese, if he does a film with women,” said Kidman.

The Oscar-winning director, 81, is known for his male-dominated filmography — such as “The Godfather,” “Goodfellas” and “The Irishman.”
