With mere weeks until production begins on Lionsgate’s World War II drama The Railway Man, its leading lady Rachel Weisz has been forced to drop out due to an unexpected scheduling conflict. Turns out, both The Bourne Legacy and Oz: The Great and Powerful now require Weisz for additional shoot days in April, which sent producers in search of a last minute replacement. Ultimately they’ve swapped one gorgeous Oscar-winner for another. Variety reports that Nicole Kidman, who has recently wrapped on Chan-wook Park’s English-language debut Stoker, has signed on to the film, and will co-star opposite Colin Firth.
