Woody Harrelson has moved in to replace Jason Statham in Man From Toronto, an action-comedy starring from Columbia Pictures.
Statham was billed to star opposite Kevin Hart but suddenly left the project as his request for the movie to be rated R was reportedly turned down.
The abrupt exit just six weeks to the start of filming led to the scramble for a new actor, and Sony picked Woody Harrelson as a replacement.
