Kate Steps Into Nicole's Shoes

January 9, 2008

Yesterday we told you that Nicole Kidman had dropped out of the upcoming movie The Reader due to her exciting pregnancy. The studio wasted no time filling the position, and Kate Winslet has stepped in to take her place. Apparently Kate was even the studio's first choice for the role, but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts with Revolutionary Road. The dates were rearranged so now Nicole gets a baby, Kate gets the part, and the studio gets their star — sounds like everybody wins.

They wanted Kate for the role to start with.Kidman was the third choice.Once they found out Kate was available after all they dumped Kidman.That's why Kidman announced she was pregnant to deflect from the fact that they fired her. Congrats to the cast of The Reader they dodeged a box office bomb by dumpimg the no talent Kidman.

Kate Winslet is one of my favorite actresses and I think she is a really great person in a lot of ways. Plus, I wish I could look just like her. I love that she doesn't think she has to be skin and bones.

I am so disappointed.The character is not exactly a saint, so Nicole would have been great in the role.Comparing Kate to Nicole, really guys. Nicole is at least 8 years older than Kate.

This sounds like good timing for both Nicole and Kate. Nicole is still pretty much a newly-wed, and with Keith's recent rehab stint and their pregnancy, I think she probably needs a rest.

Woo...love Kate Winslet! And I can't stand Nicole Kidman. She is creepy-looking and I don't understand how so many guys are obsessed with her. (That was a little harsh, sorry!) Haha

Not a flattering picture of Nicole. Again, someone who could stand to gain 10 pounds. She looks like a dying willow.

Yay! Kate is SO much better. Plus, the character is supposed to be curvy and vuluptuous- Nicole's too much of a twig for that role.

Kate is a great choice, imo. I'm really looking forward to this film. I reread the novel last week and liked it much better the second time around. Probably, I was just a little to young to really appreciate it, when I read it the first time. I'm also really happy David Kross is playing 15-year-old Michael, that boy is incredibly talented.
