This Is The Explicit Original Title Of Zac Efron And Nicole Kidman's New Film "A Family Affair"

" Somehow that did n’t make it onto the Netflix rubric , " Nicole distinguish People .

If there’s one thing to watch this week, it’sNicole KidmanandZac Efronin the new Netflixrom-comA Family Affair.

The movie premiered on the streaming service Friday. In it, Nicole plays a writer facing a major conundrum: She’s falling for a movie star, played by Zac, who just happens to be her daughter’s boss.Joey Kingplays Nicole’s daughter.

The movie’s title,A Family Affair, makes perfect sense, but Nicole and Zac recently revealed that the film initially had a different title — one that wasn’t exactly the most restrained.

In an interview withPeoplelast week, the two stars explained that the film was once titledMotherf****r.

“Beeped out,” Kidman said. “Somehow that didn’t make it onto the Netflix title.”

Zac noted that the film’s original title definitely caught his eye before he joined the movie.

“That made the script stay at the top of the pile,” he told People. “It’s like, what on Earth could this be about?”

Well, there you go. In the same interview, Nicole praised Zac for being “game” to tell a story about an older woman romancing a younger man.

“The problem is we’ve not had the equivalent from all different viewpoints, with women telling the stories. And we need game men,” she told People. “[Zac] came in and makes the film because he was like, ‘I’m here to have fun, to play, and to very much be a part of this and be there for you’ — for both Joey and I.”

Nicole also expressed this sentiment at the film’s premiere last month whenVarietyasked about the film’s message.

She responded, in part, by noting the importance of a woman writing the film. That would be Carrie Solomon, who made her feature screenplay debut withA Family Affair.

“Having a female write this, and now having more stories and all the work we’ve done for a decade just to get all the different stories out there, be they comedies, be they dramas…just with that perspective of women, without the judgment behind it,” Nicole told Variety.
