Following the monumental success of last summer’s “The Hangover,” Bradley Cooper has found himself quite the hot property — the actor, who started on JJ Abrams’ “Alias,” was linked to the role of the “Green Lantern,” and signed on to “The A-Team.” We reported a few weeks back that the actor was set to star alongside Reese Witherspoon in the action-rom-com “This Means War,” which follows two spies and best friends, who fall out over a girl.
Our favorite Sugar Ray-tribute-band-frontman McG was set to direct, something that Cooper appears to have realized, as the actor’s now left the project. Deadline reports that it’s because the shooting dates overlapped with that of “The Hangover 2,” but Entertainment Weekly says that Cooper would have been able to shoot both, and has actually departed due to “creative concerns,” and that he wasn’t happy with the script. But then, it is a Fox/McG, project, so we’re not sure what he was expecting. Anyway, the studio are back to the drawing board now, but the project’s a priority, so unless the script’s totally awful, we’re sure someone’ll step in shortly.
