``Panic Room'' Lead role change, pregnancy, behind the scenes full of panic?

Nicole Kidman to Jodie Foster

Two weeks after filming began, Nicole Kidman complained of knee problems. She had previously injured her knee in Moulin Rouge! (2001), but it worsened. Filming was stopped for a few days and we waited for her to recover, but the doctor ruthlessly diagnosed her as requiring surgery and making it impossible for her to film any more.

Production would have to be canceled if the lead actress was unable to perform, but Columbia Pictures, which had already spent a huge amount of money on high script fees and preparations, instructed them to ``continue shooting.'' After all, the four-story townhouse set alone cost $6 million. The production crew was left scrambling to find a new lead actress (Nicole Kidman, by the way, made a voice cameo as Meg's ex-husband's lover).

Jodie Foster was chosen as her replacement. She has long admired David Fincher's talent and was eager to appear in his films. However, she is already scheduled to chair the jury at the Cannes Film Festival, which conflicts with her shooting schedule. Jodie Foster, who really wanted to appear in Fincher's film, decided to decline the role of chair of the jury. This movie ended up starring a famous actress no less than Nicole Kidman.

At that time, Hayden Panettiere, who played the role of the daughter, also left the role and was replaced by Kristen Stewart, who had been attracting attention for her role in the TV drama. Filming has managed to resume with the new duo of Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart. However, Jodie Foster had one problem during filming. Surprisingly, she had a second child in her belly!
