The Hollywood Reporter says that the Tony Scott-directed action-thriller Unstoppable, to star Denzel Washington and Chris Pine, has run into budget problems at 20th Century Fox. The report says:
The project was aiming for a fall shoot — it is in an early stage of preproduction — and Washington and Scott said as recently as several weeks ago they were moving forward on that assumption.
But the studio has concerns about the cost of physical production on the action-heavy film, which could lead to the project being put on hold.
Neither the main acting deals — for Washington and “Star Trek” star Chris Pine — nor Scott’s directing deal are closed.
