Kate Winslet Not Playing Vivienne Westwood
Kate Winslet has shot down reports she is set to portray British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood on the big screen.
Reports surfaced at the weekend that Winslet, 32, was being lined up for the role.
And a spokesperson for Westwood was quoted by a British newspaper as saying, “The script is going well and Kate will play Vivienne. It has been a long time in the planning but we’re very excited that it’s happening.”
But the Titanic actress’ rep says the reports are “not at all true.”
A Vivienne Westwood spokesman added, “The script has not even been finished yet, let alone casting. Kate Winslet was just one of many names that were mentioned as possibles to play Vivienne, but this whole thing has been blown completely out of proportion.”

A little update on that Kate Winslet/Vivienne Westwood rumour for you – apparently it is true. The actress has been confirmed by Westwood’s label to play the designer in an upcoming biopic.
“The script is going well and Kate will play Vivienne,” a spokesperson said. “It has been a long time in the planning but we’re very excited that it’s happening.”
Once a script has been finalised, Winslet is expected to spend time with Dame Westwood, in order to get the most out of her performance. The film is said to follow the designer’s success from her punk days to now.

Sasha at Awards Daily has come across the first still for the Weinstein Co.’s The Reader starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes.
The film has drummed up some controversy lately, but an agreed upon release of December 12 was decided and Kate will now compete against herself for some Oscar recognition between Reader and Revolutionary Road.
The Reader is based on the Bernhard Schlink novel of the same name and directed by Stephen Daldry who directed Nicole Kidman to an Oscar for The Hours in 2002. The film is a romantic drama set against the landscape of post-war Germany involving a 15 year-old boy and a 30-year-old woman. The affair suddenly ends only to have the two meet again eight years later under completely different circumstances.
