Kidman matched the film’s pink branding and wrote on her Instagram stories, “Trailer tomorrow”.

“Today, I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed,” Kidman said via the statement.
“I am in shock and I have to go to my family.”

Kidman and her sister Antonia later shared a joint statement on Instagram along with a series of family photos.
“My sister and I along with our family want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week,” Kidman wrote on September 13.
“Every message we have received from those who loved and admired our Mother has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express.
“Thank you from our whole family for respecting our privacy as we take care of each other.”
Nicole’s friends and colleagues, including fellow Australian star Naomi Watts, expressed their condolences in the wake of the death.
“Sending so much love to you both,” Watts said in the comments.
“So sorry for your loss.
“Your wonderfully spirited mum will be missed by so many.
“Hopefully she is now peacefully reunited with your papa.
“Love you.”
“She’s just breathtaking,” actress Teresa Palmer said.
Nicole’s former fiance Lenny Kravitz — and father of her Big Little Lies co-star Zoë Kravitz — also extended his sympathies.
“My deepest condolences to you and the family,” Kravitz said.
“I am blessed to have been in her presence. Rest in power.”
