Nicole Kidman has replaced Rachel Weisz to play Colin Firth's wife in Jonathan Teplitzy's The Railway Man.  Per Variety, the movie is "based on Eric Lomax's autobiography about his horrific experiences as a Japanese prisoner in World War II, and his remarkable reconciliation with one of his captors 30 years later."  Patty Lomax was instrumental in helping her husband deal with his psychological damage and brought him together with one of the Japanese officers who was responsible for his torture.  I assume the reconciliation wasn't along the lines of a "My bad, man—All good, bro" exchange.  Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) will play the younger Lomax.

Weisz had to drop out of the role due to additional shooting for the blockbuster films The Bourne Legacy and Oz: The Great and Powerful.  Kidman is also attached to star in My Wild Life and The Family Fang, and she will be seen later this year in Lee Daniels' The Paperboy.
