Following recent news that Tony Scott's Unstoppable had hit a fault on the line, Variety reports that star Denzel Washington has walked away from the project.
Washington and Scott are still on amicable terms as they promote The Taking of Pelham 123 (they've got three and a half successful collaborations behind them, and this split is through circumstance rather than a falling out) but the actor's "people" confirm that he is in the job market for the autumn.
Pelham has performed disappointingly at the box office, causing Fox to ask for budget cuts to the tune of around $20m on what amounts to another runaway train film from Scott. They also suggested paying Washington a mere $16m instead of his usual $20m. Honestly, it's hardly worth getting out of bed for that.
However, all may not quite be dead in the water, with Fox apparently having returned with a counter-offer to the actor, which he's currently considering. As soon as we know more, you'll know.
