Kodi Smit-McPhee to drop out ‘Wolverine’
Just when it seemed that all the pieces were falling into place for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the change in shooting schedules on director Gavin Hood’s Logan Year One tale has forced newbie Kodi Smit-McPhee to drop out of playing the youngling adamantium-clawed wild thing.
Already committed to John Hillcoat’s adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy thriller The Road (alongside Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron), the oddly monikered newcomer has seen the coveted superhero mantle passed over to equally bizarrely named pretender, Troye Mellet.
Still on target for a May 1, 2009 release, the casting reshuffle shouldn’t cause too many problems with the production.
According to latest reports, the young star of ‘Juno’ Ellen Page, alos, has dropped out from the Sam Raimi’s newest feature film project ‘Drag Me to Hell’. She has quit the project because she “didn’t like the latest draft of the script”.
However, MoviesOnline claimed that according to a joint statement from Ghost House Pictures and Mandate Pictures, the Canadian actress is no longer available for the project due to scheduling conflicts.
