Woody Recasts Kidman Role

There has got to be some kind of major financial potential lost when Nicole Kidman drops out of a project. You’d think that she would be replaced with someone of equal star power. Funnily enough, Woody Allen decided not to match fame for fame and chose instead Lucy Punch to replace Kidman. Variety says that “sources” say “Punch will play a high-priced call girl similar to Ashley Dupre, who was at the center of the scandal that brought down New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.”

Kidman had other committments with The Rabbit Hole.
