Production stalls on Passengers film after Rachel McAdams drops out

Production on Keanu Reeves' space movie Passengers has reportedly been delayed following Rachel Mcadams' departure from the film.

The Sherlock Holmes star was cast to replace Reese Witherspoon, but now she too has exited the project.

Filming was slated to begin next month (Apr14), but it has been pushed back to give producers time to find a new leading lady.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, filmmakers are also shopping the film to other distributors after producers at The Weinstein Co. pulled out.

Passengers, which stars The Matrix actor as a colonist onboard a spaceship headed to a new world who falls in love with a fellow traveler, is scheduled to hit theatres next year (15).
