Actress Nicole Kidman has opted out of Woody Allen's untitled film.

The Oscar winning actress was to star alongside Antonio Banderas, Naomi Watts and Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto.

Kidman's replacement, however, is yet to he decided, reports Variety. The Aussie beauty had recently claimed that she did not criticise ex-hubby Tom Cruise in a recent interview, and that her quotes about their relationship were "months old" and "taken out of context".

The actress, who divorced Cruise in 2001 after 11 years of marriage, had allegedly hit out at the Top Gun star in an article with Britain's Easy Living magazine. Her representative Catherine Olan slammed the article's writer for fabricating the comments.

Olan told TheCelebrityTruth.com: "(The interview) is months old and yes, was completely taken out of context at the time. Furthermore, Nicole has never done an interview with a magazine called Easy Living in her life."
