Kate Winslet and Nicole Kidman

Kate Winslet Replaces Pregnant Nicole Kidman In Film?
Kate Winslet has replaced Nicole Kidman in World War II drama "The Reader," after the pregnant Australian actress pulled out of the project. Kidman on Monday confirmed she is expecting a baby with her husband Keith Urban.

She was due to start shooting the adaptation of German author Bernhard Schlink's book with director Stephen Daldry later this month, but withdrew from the movie after learning of her pregnancy.

And now Winslet, who was originally offered the role but had to decline because the shoot clashed with her commitments to upcoming film Revolutionary Road, has now signed up to star in "The Reader" opposite Ralph Fiennes.
