Kate Winslet Replaces Kidman In 'The Reader'

The Reader
Kate Winslet will replace Nicole Kidman in the lead of the Weinstein Co.'s Stephen Daldry pic "The Reader." Kidman dropped out Monday, citing her pregnancy as the reason.

Principal photography on the pic began late last year in Berlin and the eastern city of Goerlitz, and filming was set to continue this month with Kidman, who had yet to shoot any scenes of the film.
