No Bradley Cooper for 'This Means War'

Bradley Cooper was supposed to join Reese Witherspoon in 20th Century Fox's upcoming action comedy "This Means War," but the "Hangover" actor is now no longer involved, according to EW. The studio says Cooper has scheduling conflicts with "The Hangover 2."

However, EW points out that a source close to the project said Cooper had trouble with some creative differences over the script, which follows two best friends launching into an escalating war when they both fall in love with the same woman.

McG, who recently directed "Terminator: Salvation," is in talks to helm, and production was set to begin early this summer. It is still unclear how Fox will handle the departure of Cooper. I'd say find a new guy asap, right? Timothy Dowling wrote the most recent draft of "War."
