Kidman Waves Goodbye to Woody Allen Film - Who Should Replace Her?
When I wrote about Nicole Kidman signing up for the next Woody Allen film in March, I bit my tongue and didn't mention my doubts. While I knew she could handle the material, I had a sneaking suspicion that it wouldn't come to fruition. This was not because I can see the future, but because many projects that she signs on for she inevitably exits -- Manderlay, The Reader, The Producers, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, etc. And now she's out of Allen's latest ensemble piece, according to Variety. While she was a solid addition to the cast that boasts the likes of Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, Josh Brolin, Naomi Watts, and Freida Pinto, there's now a big hole to fill before production kicks off in London this summer. So the big question is: Who will fill it this time, and who should?
For the films I mentioned above, Kidman was replaced with Bryce Dallas Howard, Kate Winslet, Uma Thurman, and of course, Angelina Jolie. (What a different world we'd be in if Pitt was matched with Kidman...) In other words, there's no tried and true Kidman replacement -- they run the gamut. Personally, I'd like to see someone like Maggie Gyllenhaal or Julie Delpy take over, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Woody's beloved ScarJo come to the rescue.
Who would you cast?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! No ScarJo. I don't care who it is, as long as it's not her!

Isn't Katie Holmes-Thetan-Cruise the obvious choice. Providing she doesn't get her norks out or she'll end up on the naughty step!!!

Kate Winslet in a Woody Allen film. Yes, please.
Of course it'll probably go to Scarjo.

Rachel Weisz. She's got the perfect blend of quirkiness, acting ability, and beauty to fit into Woody Allen's world.

Shouldn't we know something about the role before we decide who we should cast in it? Just a thought.

I like a lot of the ladies mentioned before, but I wouldn't mind seeing Rebecca Hall again.
I just hope this won't make Watts leave too.
