Nicole Kidman Ditches Woody, Robert Pattinson Gets Unbound

Crikey! Woody Allen's latest ensemble project is down one Aussie.

Nicole Kidman has opted out of the director's London-set flick due to a scheduling conflict with another of her pet projects.

Presumably to preempt the baby bump speculation, Kidman's rep says the actress' double duty as producer and star (alongside Aaron Eckhart) duties for Rabbit Hole will prevent her from taking part in Allen's latest offering.

Even sans Kidman, there will be plenty of star power to go around: Naomi Watts, Freida Pinto, Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins remain on board and will begin shooting this summer in the U.K.

Meanwhile, those wondering what you'd get if you crossed Wolverine with a Mummy-seeking archaeologist need wonder no more. According to Hollywood, the answer is Robert Pattinson.

The New Moon hunk heads up today's castings, along with Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz, Kevin Spacey, Monica Bellucci, Guy Pearce, Danny Glover and Al Pacino.

• Robert Pattinson is set to star as the son of Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz in the period drama Unbound Captives, E! News confirms. The film centers on a woman whose husband is killed and two children are captured in 1859. She's rescued by a frontiersman, played by Jackman.

• Kevin Spacey may not know Jack, but he's gonna play him. According to Variety, the actor is set to star as fallen power lobbyist Jack Abramoff in the reality-based thriller Casino Jack. The film follows how Abramoff's fraudulent dealings with Indian casinos landed him in prison.

• Monica Bellucci, Guy Pearce and Miranda Otto are going light with Black. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the trio are set to star in The Women in Black, a romantic comedy based on the same-named Madeleine St. John novel. The story follows a group of saleswomen and their families working in a 1960s department store. Cameras roll in Sydney this October.

Dear Alice fits like a Glover. Per Variety, Danny Glover has signed on to star in the Swedish indie drama centering on four people whose fates intertwine based on life-changing decisions they make on one day.

• Al Pacino is in talks to star in the Leonardo DiCaprio-produced adaptation of Malcolm Gladwell's bestseller Blink, per the Hollywood Reporter. The film will center on the relationship between an older finance-world man and the twentysomething drifter son he has long distanced himself from, with whom he reconnects.

Jean-Claude Van Damme and Vinnie Jones are using their powers for evil, not good. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the action duo are teaming up to play rival assassins who form a tenuous alliance in order to take down the head of a drug cartel backed by the DEA. Cameras roll on Weapon in August.
