      I’m really looking forward to this film. Thanks for sharing this.

      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.

      I am NOW really looking forward to this film. Thank you for sharing this.

    5. New Still From ‘The Reader,’ Winslet Looks Fierce To Say The Least « Fataculture October 5th, 2008 at 3:48 am 5

      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.

    9. zach October 5th, 2008 at 10:50 am 9

      Got to love Kate Winslet from always getting nude

    10. Matt Mazur October 5th, 2008 at 11:07 am 10

      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.

    11. Dorothy Porker October 5th, 2008 at 1:01 pm 11

      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.

    13. SANDRA L. October 5th, 2008 at 1:55 pm 13

      this book has capture my heart and soul…and when i heard of a the movie comming up…i couldn’t keep my heart from bouncing out my chest…i’m looking foward to seeing this movie and the cast is incrediable..couldn’t ask for more. i love just love kate….and thanks for keeping us up to date…I’m hoping for an oscar for this movie as well

    14. Nick Roman: Threadkiller October 5th, 2008 at 3:40 pm 14

      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.

    15. Bill M. October 5th, 2008 at 3:46 pm 15

      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?”

    19. Highwayroller October 6th, 2008 at 1:27 am 19

      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.

      “I have just come from seeing Crazy Heart. I am always skeptical when it comes to award circles honoring veteran actors for a mediocre role, but in reality, it’s for their body of work. A sympathy vote. Before I saw Crazy Heart, Jeremy Renner clearly gave the best performance. I heard that Jeff Bridges’ character was a washed-up alcoholic country singer trying to clean his act up. Truly redundant and repulsive Oscar bait. I mean, that just reminds me of Robert Duvall winning for Tender Mercies! Alcoholics almost always guarantee an Oscar nomination, and perhaps even an Oscar! (Ray Milland in The Lost Weekend, Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou, Thomas Mitchell in Stagecoach, Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas). Now I’m not saying Jeff Bridges is a horrible actor. He’s a pretty good actor. I loved his earlier work, like The Last Picture Show and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Even in Starman, I found him hilarious (weird, right?). So, from word of mouth, I figured Jeff Bridges would not be all that great. I was wrong.

      Bridges put himself into this character so much, I almost forgot it was Jeff Bridges! I know, that’s hard to swallow, even for me! But he was on top of his game! Obviously, the movie had certain problems, but the movie was Jeff Bridges. Some may say his performance is subtle. True. It is a bit subtle. But it was just the little things Bridges does with his body movement, the way he speaks, his reaction to others, his singing (wow!), how he interacts with the little boy, how I looked deep into those tired blue eyes and saw the soul of this wrecked person. Bridges creates a character that you can believe. I mean, it IS easy to believe someone like Bridges playing this character, physically and otherwise. Along with my amazement Bad Blake come to life, I also pondered on the side of Bridges’ acting career as a whole, and put both the lives of Bridges and Blake and compared the two. The feeling was just too overwhelming.

      If Jeff Bridges wins the Oscar (and after seeing his performance, I am pretty sure he will), it will not be a sympathy vote. Jeff Bridges brings a complex character to life with that special king of magic persona he shoots off the screen. I am for Jeff Bridges winning the Oscar.”
