Well that didn't take long. Just yesterday we learned that Jake Gyllenhaal was set to replace the departing Dominic Cooper in Motor City, the upcoming vengeance thriller from Albert Hughes. It seemed like a good fit....on paper, but now Deadline reports Gyllenhaal has backed out so fast Dark Castle execs' heads are still spinning.
The reason for the sudden about face? Scheduling, ofcourse. Apparently Gyllenhaal wanted to push the start date back while he finished....something, not sure what. That idea was quickly rejected, and they're back at square one.
So who'll be next on the list? Remember, the film follows an ex-military man sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit, only to get out and look for revenge. It's a role that'll require more physicality than anything else, as the lead only has one line of dialogue. What actors would you say are better seen than heard?
