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.

I think the part of Hanna Schmitz (lead in the Reader) fits Winslet perfectly. And while i badly wanted to see how Kidman, one of the greatest actresses today, would show this heroine, I am sure Kate will do her best too. ‘Cause Nicole got a better part right now:-)
I read the book and the part of Hanna is not for Kate. I’d like to see Laura Dern or Cate Blanchett
To MIIU
They’re both great actresses but we must admit it they are too skinny for this part. Nicole obviously is skinny too but she reportedly planned to gain some pounds for this role - and now look at Winslet. she’s already the same complection as it is described in Schlink’s novel.
yay! kate is soooo underrated. anything nicole can do, kate can do ten times better. kate keeps everything low-key and quiet whereas nicole tends to pout alot and seems to only care about looking good (just the impression i get) . i love kate so much, she’s a much better role model seeing as she actually eats and with five oscar nominations, i think she’s perfect for the role. she’s a real woman.
Hopefully, when you mean ‘the new Nicole Kidman’, she won’t get loads of botox in a few years time! I like Nic, but seriously!
I’m very very happy for Kate, a real young talented actress of our generation! Plot sounds very good and she’s perfect for a drama story! And Stephen Daldry is a brilliant director, he has done a great work in the hours! I hope to see very soon this new Kate’s project and…Revolutionary Road with Leo!!!! ^__^
gooo Kate!!!!
Botox and Cricket:
Nicole has won 1 Oscar and 3 Golden Globe awards.
Kate has won 0 Oscar and 0 Golden Globae awards.
Enough said!
I can’t wait for this movie. I read the book at school, and I think Kate is perfect. Nic would have been good, but Kate’s better. so excited!
yeah but kate has been nomitated for FIVE oscars, enuff said.
