Denzel Washington Drops Out of Tony Scott’s Unstoppable

Variety is reporting that Denzel Washington has dropped out of director Tony Scott’s new project titled Unstoppable. The movie was set to co-star actor Chris Pine (Star Trek). Money disputes are supposedly the reason for Washington’s departure. Fox had been trimming down the budget for the film for a few months now, and the last straw was the studio attempting to cut down his salary of $20 million down to $16 million. Washington refused to accept a cut in his pay and left the project. The actor has teamed up with Tony Scott in numerous projects including this summers The Taking of Pelham 123. Unstoppable is about a veteran engineer (Washington) who jumps into a locomotive with a young conductor (Pine) to halt an unmanned runaway train filled with a toxic chemical.
