Lucie Arnaz is asking fans not to quibble over the casting of Nicole Kidman as her mother. In a Facebook video addressing those "who have been so enthusiastically commenting on the choice of casting," Arnaz, said of Academy Award winners Kidman and Javier Bardem, set to play her father, that the casting was "a done deal" even though "the contracts aren't actually signed." Seeking to "try to calm the waters here," Arnaz said, "There seems to be a lot of discussion about Nicole Kidman, [that] it should be Debra Messing, it should be Carole Cook," a protégée of Ball's now in her 90s and still appearing on-screen. Arnaz continued. "We are not doing a remake of 'I Love Lucy.' No one has to impersonate [the character] Lucy Ricardo nor do the Vitameatavegamin routine or the chocolate-factory routine or any of the silly things. It's the story of Lucille Ball, my actual mother, not Lucy Ricardo, and her husband, Desi Arnaz, my dad, not Ricky Ricardo."
