Action flick This Means War has been stewwing forever now and if the film ever gets past the casting stage we might see the story about two spies who fall in love with the same woman.
The project has had Reese Witherspoon attached to star for awhile and Chris Pine (Star Trek) attached himself to one of the lead spy roles a few months ago. The other role was at one point set to be played by Bradley Cooper before he dropped out due to scheduling conflicts and then it was announced that Sam Worthington had stepped into the role. But now we’re hearing word that Worthington’s been replaced by Brit actor Tom Hardy
Remember when Sam Worthington was going to be the next big thing? Avatar, Terminator, Clash of the Titans…. that other thing.
Well I didn’t think he would fade so quickly and while I don’t hate the guy, I think he might already have started to wear his welcome.
But after Inception I (and a lot of others) said to look out for Tom Hardy. So is it coincidence or plotting that got this guy the gig? I mean, its not like Hardy came out of no where, but people are just now starting to really take notice of the guy, and then he replaces the current it-boy in an upcoming film?
To be fair, the movie has seen more than its share of casting shifts, so it just might be another shuffle.
