It’s not often you have an action movie with a star-studded cast, but such is the case with the upcoming film FASTER.  The George Tillman Jr. film already stars Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton, Maggie Grace, Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Moon Bloodgood.  It used to star Salma Hayek, but she had to drop out due to “scheduling conflicts”.  In the film, Johnson plays a man seeking revenge for the death of his brother.

So, “scheduling conflicts” came up a week before shooting was supposed to start, even though she’s been linked to the film for almost three months now?  I don’t think we have to know all of the dirt when it comes to Hollywood films, but something better than “scheduling conflicts” would be nice.  What about “Salma dropped out because she finally took the time to read the script and realized it was embarrassingly bad and didn’t want any part of it?”  Now that would be a good headline.

Deadline Hollywood reports that Salma Hayek has left the cast of the action-thriller by George Tillman Jr "Faster", produced by Sony / CBS, which already included stars like Dwayne Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton, Moon Bloodgood and Maggie Grace. Given that filming will begin in a week, searching for a new actress to go to take the place of Hayek are rather pressing.

Salma Hayek has been forced to drop out of “Faster”, the CBS films’ flick that marks Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson’s highly-welcomed return to action.

According to Nikki Fenke, the production needed to start earlier if it’d wanted to retain the services of the Latin beauty.

In the flick, which begins filming on the 8th, Johnson plays an ex-con bent on avenging the death of his brother, murdered 10 years earlier.

When the two were double-crossed during a heist. Suitable replacements for Hayek need camp outside director George Tillman Jr’s pad.

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Salma Hayek has dropped out of CBS Films' Faster just a week before shooting was set to begin February 8th. The filmmakers plan to recast the role immediately.

The George Tillman Jr.-directed drama was written by Tony and Joe Gayton, and stars Dwayne Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton, Maggie Grace, Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Moon Bloodgood.

Faster is set to open in theaters November 10, 2010.Johnson will play an ex-con bent on avenging the death of his brother, murdered 10 years earlier when the two were double-crossed during a heist.

Ordinarily I wouldn’t care if a new bunch of suckers gets fleeced buying shiny bits of metal and gooey liquids but the rising commodity prices suck capital away from the entire rest of the planet and that damages the global economy.

The World did not suddenly fall apart last week, we are only finally dealing with the myriad of problems that have been swept under the rug during 2009 as the market mindlessly ran up 30% off our June/July consolidation without.

A significant break. Could things really have been that good? Of course not, it was silly. Actually it was reckless and stupid and, ultimately, damaging because.

As I said in my 2010 Outlook, it causes a MIS allocation of capital away from new companies and sectors that can thrive and create jobs - instead plowing money into the same idiotic commodity investments that popped just 18 months ago.
