Entertainment Weekly reports that Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, upcoming The A-Team) has dropped out of the McG-directed romantic comedy This Means War. He was set to star with Reese Witherspoon.
The magazine says that 20th Century Fox was hoping to shoot the film in July.
This Means War is the story of two best friends, inseparable since childhood, who fall in love with the same woman (Witherspoon). The two men’s bond disintegrates and their ensuing battle escalates to mammoth proportions, with New York City demolished in their wake.
Cooper is expected to film The Hangover 2 this fall for a May 26, 2011 release.
