Nicole Kidman exits Woody Allen movie over scheduling conflict

Tags:

Nicole Kidman has withdrawn from Woody Allen’s latest, untitled movie due to a scheduling conflict, EW has learned. Kidman has already committed to producing and starring in The Rabbit Hole, which shoots on the East coast this summer. Allen’s movie is also scheduled to start shooting this summer, but in the U.K. When contacted by EW, Allen’s publicist said that Kidman’s replacement has yet to be determined.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Kidman would star in the Allen project, which also features Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, Josh Brolin, Naomi Watts, and Freida Pinto. (Additional reporting by Nicole Sperling)

    She probably has her good reasons. But it is a pity.

    Who cares? her role was small…

    Conflicts with Rabbit Hole. This is the reason. I think she did well. Rabbit Hole seems more intresting

    Nicole Kidmann that actress we used to love is gone. Like Madeleine Stowe, Meg Ryand and a bunch of other once beautiful women, she is a victim of botox or whathever they are using now and became a strange creature, with fixed eyes, strange mouths, deformed faces. She should stay at home, taking care of her daughter and remembering the time she was a legend. It is possible to get old and beautiful (or at least look like a human being…)

    She probably hated sharing the screen with so many biggies, likely thinks she’s bigger than that. But that’s what she should do now, ensemble roles because she can’t carry a movie on her own.

    Apparently, after huge successes like Bewitched, Fur, The Invasion, The Golden Compass, and Australia, Nicole is just too much of a star to work with someone like Woody Allen.

    That’s a shame. Kidman and Allen would have been a great pairing of talents.
    Nicole has a new movie out ‘Nine’ that is getting Oscar buzz already.
    She’ll be fine no matter what.

    I have to agree with most people. Nicole Kidman was great when she first started because she was hungry for respect & something to prove besides being Mrs. Tom Cruise. She was very good in Malice and great in To Die for. I did not see Moulin Rouge but most people said she did a good job. I paid money to see her in Bewitched & Stepford Wives and she was horrible and vowed never again to pay to see her in a movie. She talked like Marilyn Monroe and I could not get over the fact her face did not move anymore. No expression whatsoever. I hope Katie Holmes is listening!!

    Just go away and STAY there, Botox B****!

  • Aldo

    Kidman is the Worst. Actress. Ever.
    Why do they keep giving her roles ? All her movies tank. She’s all surface and a very shallow performer.
