Winslett pulls out of Woody Allen film

LOS ANGELES, June 25 (UPI) -- British actress Kate Winslet has pulled out of Woody Allen's new film because it would leave her too little time for her young family.

Winslett, married to director Sam Mendes, was due to co-star with Brian Cox, Emily Mortimer and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the unnamed film, which will be the first Allen film to be shot entirely in Britain.

However, after realizing publicity duties for the Johnny Depp-starring film "Neverland" plus Mendes' own work on Gulf War drama "Jarheads" would have kept her and her family apart all summer, Winslet withdrew from the film, the World Entertainment News Network said Friday.
