Kate Winslet is the New Nicole Kidman

Kate Winslet is the New Nicole Kidman

Kate Winslet is replacing mom-to-be Nicole Kidman in the new drama The Reader.

Kate was offered it first before Nicole but couldn’t do it but the dates clashed with commitments to Revolutionary Road,” an insider tells People. “So the dates changed, Nicole then got pregnant and now it has come back to Kate.”

Added the source, “Actually everyone is happy now – Nicole as she has a baby on the way, Kate because she has this great role she originally wanted to do, and the filmmakers are too.”

The Reader is about an affair between a teenage boy and an older woman in post-WWII Germany.

How many movies with this kind of theme is Nicole going to be involved in? I know she pulled out but only because of the pregnancy.

I think would be great for such a role. She was very good in the movie Little Children, where she had an affair. Great movie, if you havent watched before check it out.

Celeb watcher…… I’m glad someone else thinks this is strange. And Nicole already has two kids, you wouldn’t think she would want to be asociated with a movie with this kind of thing AGAIN.

Aww, this would have been great for Nicole. But I love Kate, too, and I’m THRILLED about the baby, so it’s okay.

I am sure the producers are thrilled to get a real actress. Their movie will at least stand a chance now.

Kate Winslet has a child so why are the people who were attacking Nicole for doing a movie with this subject matter not attacking Kate Winslet as well…

that pic of Nicole looks just like the ones of Katie yesterday, same bone structure and everything, can we have the pic of them side by side for comparison?

i predict that it would’ve been more interesting with nicole in it…but kate’s just as good i guess. i think nicole has more of that ‘mystery’ in her. anyhow, congrats to both kate and nicole.

Lucky for the other people in the movie.It might actually have a chance now that they got rid of the frozen faced Kidman

Notbusy, your point is well taken. The fact is there is only one WEIRDO who keeps changing names to agree with herself who has some sort of thing against Nicole and very strange ideas.

Kate is a fantastic actress but so is Nicole. Her movies tanking are not because of Nicole, as anyone with a brain could tell you. They were either poor movies (Stepford Wives, Bewitched) that were remakes at a time when the market was glutted with remakes of old movies and TV shows, or indie pictures. Nicole is a top, top actress, which is why she keeps getting challenging roles.

Kate is soooo underrated. She should have won about three Oscars by now. By the way, she hasn’t been in that many hits, either. these are ACTRESSES — up for a challenge, not just to make blockbusters that appeal to the car crash and nudity crowd.
