In the Aaron Sorkin written and directed project, Kidman will star as Lucille Ball and Bardem as Desi Arnaz.
тАЬBeing The RicardosтАЭ takes place over one week of filming the beloved sitcom тАЬI Love LucyтАЭ where both their careers and their marriage faced a crisis.

The new pic shows Kidman in bright yellow pants, a checked blazer and a headscarf to complete the тАЩ50s style. Bardem was dapper in a green tuxedo jacket with black lapel.
The two were spotted embracing between two vintage cars while filming on Friday.
Ball and Arnaz were married in 1940 before splitting in 1960.

Earlier this month, Kidman teased filming with a closed set pic with the caption, тАЬCurrently in production.тАЭ
There was some controversy over casting Kidman, but Ball and ArnazтАЩs daughter Lucie Arnaz showed support for the choice.
тАЬAaron has done a wonderful job of bringing these characters to life, and itтАЩs just a little тАж slice of life in their journey,тАЭ she shared. тАЬItтАЩs not the whole story. ItтАЩs not a biopic from cradle to grave. It is a two-hour feature film about these two people and some of the remarkable things they lived through.тАЭ
Adding, тАЬJust trust us, itтАЩs going to be a nice film, and p.s. the voting is over. I love all of you.тАЭ
