O shucks! I was actually looking forward to watching Salma Hayek in FASTER. People who were involved in Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant need to redeem themselves anyway and I thought this could be Hayek’s way of doing just that but DeadlineHollywood said the latin beauty has exited the CBS Films/Sony Pictures project…
She decided to leave one week before shooting, the reason behind it was unclear. Now producers must find replacement, quickly.
Dwayne Johnson’s return to action in FASTER an action/thriller about an ex-con bent on avenging the death of his brother, murdered 10 years earlier when the two were double-crossed during a heist… Things get even more complicated and intense because while hunting down the people responsible for his brother’s death, the ex-con (Johnson) is also being pursued by several guys who want him dead. Billy Bob Thornton is set to play a veteran policeman who trails Driver as he races to settle with those responsible for the murder. Co-starring Maggie Grace, Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Moon Bloodgood
To be directed by George Tillman Jr. (Men Of Honor, Notorious) The script was written by Tony Gayton
That’s a bummer. Then again, seeing Salma Hayek and Moon Bloodgood in the same movie probably would have made my head explode.
