Winslet is in: The Reader still on track

Boy that was quick. Earlier today I reported on Variety breaking the news that Nicole Kidman was preggers and quicker than you can say the words "Keith Urban" it was confirmed that the leading role will go to Kate Winslet.

Apparently, Winslet "was the first choice but was unable to do the movie because of a scheduling conflict with Revolutionary Road. Kidman then took the role, and the filmmakers built in a hiatus to accommodate her when the production of the Baz Luhrmann-directed Australia" which went past the proposed production finish date.
