Reese's Bunny Falls to Pieces
Reese Witherspoon's least dependable employee: Reese Witherspoon.
The Oscar-winning actor has hopped out plans to star in and produce the thriller Bunny Lake is Missing just five weeks before cameras were set to roll on the project.
Witherspoon's publicist did not immediately respond to calls for comment on the last-minute departure. But according to the Los Angeles Times, the 30-year-old told the filmmakers that she was not emotionally invested in the role.
Witherspoon, in the midst of a divorce from Ryan Phillippe, also reportedly cited the stress of her separation and desire to be nearer her family as reasons for breaking her contract.
It's unclear whether Witherspoon's Type A Films, which was producing the movie, will remain on board or whether this Bunny will be boiled.
Filmmakers had already done their best to accommodate Witherspoon for the shoot, scheduling just two weeks of filming in England, where the movie is set, with the rest set to take place in Los Angeles.
A remake of Otto Preminger's 1965 thriller of the same name, the film centers on a young mother whose daughter goes missing from her U.K. nursery school and who is led to believe the disappearing offspring was a figment of her imagination. In the original film, Laurence Olivier played the part of skeptical investigator.
Two years ago, the film served as uncredited inspiration for Jodie Foster's nightmare at 30,000 feet, Flightplan.
Smokin' Aces' Joe Carnahan had signed on to direct the thriller, while Doug Wright penned the film, which had been in development for nearly three years.
If the filmmakers are unable to find a suitable top-tier actor to replace Witherspoon—in just over a month's time—Bunny may be hopping back into development hell.
According to the Times, scripts have already been sent out to Kate Winslet and Charlize Theron, although producers clearly aren't holding their breath: The now unemployed cast and crew have been encouraged to find other projects.
Meanwhile, Witherspoon has managed to find some projects she felt a substantial enough connection to in the past few months. The blonde sweetheart recently wrapped principal photography on Rendition, a thriller centering on the mysterious in-flight disappearance of an Egyptian engineer and the quest to find secret CIA detention camps. Meryl Streep and Jake Gyllenhaal also star.
That film is due out Nov. 30.
