Director Doug Liman has dropped that the currently pregnant Nicole Kidman is going to play CIA agent Valerie Plame, whose identity was leaked to the media in 2003, according to our pals over at MTV.com.

The director said Nicole was actually supposed to play Jane Smith in his movie “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” Of course, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ended up playing the leading roles — and now their having kids and getting married! 

Liman says because Nicole didn’t play Jane in “Smith,” they were “owed a movie together.”

“Nicole Kidman. She’s perfect if you’ve ever met Valerie. Nicole was supposed to play Jane Smith in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith.’ We owe a movie together! That’s an unrequited thing between me and an actor where I fell in love with them for a role and never get to consummate it.”

The only thing I can ask is: Didn’t he see how big of a flop Nicole Kidman’s last movie, “The Golden Compass,” was?
