Jason Statham Drops Out Of ‘Man From Toronto’ Four Weeks From Production; Sony Recasting Around Kevin Hart
: Others say production was to start in six weeks].It sounds as if Statham hadn’t gotten to the point where he had a pay or play deal, but he was certainly expected to star in the movie after completinghelmer Guy Ritchie for Miramax. He had some creative issues, sources said, including a desire for the film to be R rated. That didn’t dovetail with the studio’s desire to have it be a more inclusive PG-13 release for a November 20 release leading into the Thanksgiving holiday corridor.
Studio is already out to an actor they hope will keep the film on its fast track. The priority is to keep in place Hart, who is coming off the hit, which Sony releases next January 15. Statham was going to play the world’s deadliest assassin — known as ‘The Man from Toronto’ — who teams up with Teddy, New York’s biggest screw-up, when they are mistaken for each other in a rented Airbnb. The Man from Toronto and Teddy are forced to team up and save the day, but the real question is, will they survive each other?
Robbie Fox wrote the script based on a story he originated with Jason Blumenthal. Frequent Sony collaborators Todd Black, Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch are producing the pic under their Escape Artists banner with Bill Bannerman executive producer.
