Compass takes Kidman to Tokyo

Five-months pregnant Nicole Kidman (in Prada) shows off her barely-there baby bump at a press conference for her latest film The Golden Compass at the Peninsula Tokyo on Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan.

“I have been to Tokyo quite a few times.” Nic told reporters at the press conference. “But this is the first time I have been to Tokyo pregnant. I am very glad to be here this way.”

Mrs. Keith Urban also told reporters why she chose to do this family-friendly field: “My Bella and Connor are 13 and 15. So they have seen the film and they loved it…my child inside won’t see the film for a long time. But I think once you have children you want to balance the work you do because they give up so much of you to your work. So occasionally you want to make films that they can take their friends to, they can go to the premiere of, that they celebrate.”

The Golden Compass opens in theaters in Japan on March 1. Domestically, the film has pulled in a healthy $70 million so far and abroad, has racked up a whopping $206 million. And counting!

Nic, 40, was joined on stage by director Chris Weitz and costar Dakota Blue Richards.
