Nicole Kidman is replaced by Kate Winlset

Nicole Kidman announced that she will quit acting at least for a couple of years, to spend more time with her husband. Moreover, the Oscar winning actress is pregnant and she had to quit the movie “The Reader” she planed to do.

Based on German author Bernhard Schlink's bestselling 1995 novel – and Oprah's Book Club selection – about an affair between a teenage boy and an older woman in post-WWII Germany (as ramifications of the Holocaust were being understood), the movie version is being directed by Stephen Daldry whose 2002 The Hours won Kidman her Best Actress Oscar.

"The part will be recast," said a spokesperson for Studio Babelsberg, near Berlin, Germany, speaking to the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper's online edition.

Kidman will get replace by Kate Winslet.


"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," says a source.
