   I’m getting ‘Heavenly Creatures’ flashbacks from that screenshot.

   Can’t wait for this one. Love Kate.

   Amazing what this woman can do — even from just looking at a still.

   Lovely still.
   But it is not as romantic in real life.
   Not as dry. And really messy.
   And the water gets cold after 2 pages of reading.

   Let’s hope Stephen Daldry has done a good job with this adapted screenplay from Schink’s book.

   And if Kate Winslet has delivered what she is able to deliver in her performance, then the Oscar will be very difficult to grab from her hands.

   She is a great actress.

   Heavenly Creatures? I’m getting English Patient. Ralph Fiennes loves those being in bathtubs with pretty costars parts.

   And lol, Richard A. You may be right.

   Got to love Kate Winslet from always getting nude

    I have a sneaking suspicion that this is going to be majorly toned down from the source material, therefore, the Academy will probably orgasm over it.

    What is there to tone down about “The Reader” in this day and age? The story was not particularly shocking or alarming (and considering the subject matter, that’s a lot to say). Powerful and moving, yes.

12. Matt Mazur October 5th, 2008 at 1:23 pm 12

    I’m just saying, Daldry has a decided sentimentality that cannot be missed. I feel as though the book demands a little bit more of a tart tone.

    Read the novel before I realized it was the same “Reader” that was getting an adaptation at year’s end. It’s a great novel, and an alarmingly fast read. Can’t wait for this, as I’m sure Kate will do a fantastic job. She has a lot of material here for a nomination, but I feel if she makes the shortlist for anything it’ll be Revolutionary Road. The Weinsteins just don’t have that campaign power they used to have when they were running Miramax. And I don’t see “The Reader” being as big a deal as “Revolutionary Road.” However, the studios have to decide which role they’re going to campaign or we’re going to end up with another Leo split (his Blood Diamond performance getting in over his Departed performance) and she’ll have no chance of winning, if the split even allows her a spot on the shortlist at all.

    And the Oscar for Lead Actress goes to………Kate Winslet.

    Seeing that Revolutionary Road is the more serious Best Picture contender it seems she’ll get nominated for that instead.

    I hate the Oscar rule that an actor/actress can’t be nominated in the same category.

16. Charles October 5th, 2008 at 6:46 pm 16

    i don’t think that actor is Ralph Fiennes; i think it’s the younger version of his character.

17. Corbin October 5th, 2008 at 8:44 pm 17

    That’s David Kross in the pic, the male lead. I don’t know why all the media is saying that Ralph Fiennes is the co-star, his role is very little. Kate’s role is supporting compared to David’s.

18. Marshall October 5th, 2008 at 10:22 pm 18

    Corbin you may have hit on the campaign strategy. I would like her first Oscar to be a Lead Actress though, but I’d take either. It would be pretty hilarious if she won for a holocaust movie in light of her appearance on EXTRAS. “When will Winslet get her Oscar?”

    This boy is underaged! OMG! Paedophilia! America must be psyched about it! Kidman’s bathtube scene in BIRTH, anyone?

    Ok, sorry:) It’s definitely one of the first scenes in the movie, Hannah and this 15-yrs old boy. Looks very tender.

    [...] Awards daily has this first image from the upcoming movie THE READER starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes…If you’re into reading books, like me.. then maybe having Kate Winslet inside your bathtub might help you.. ‘enhance’ your reading, it would certainly help mine. Winslet is a superb, beautiful actresses who’s not ashamed of the great body God gave her. [...]

    I hated this book with a passion. Let’s hope Kate Winslet can do something with it.
