Sasha at Awards daily has come across an interesting picture from the Weinstein Co’s The Reader starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes. The film was in a small release battle between the producer and Weinstein. But finally everything has been resolved to a certain degree with some money shifting hands.

The film will now release on December 12 th. So this will mean Kate Winslet will now compete with herself for some Oscar recognition between Revolutionary road and The Reader.

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.
