UPDATE: Sony Pictures has found Jason Statham’s replacement in Woody Harrelson (Zombieland 2, Venom 2). Harrelson steps in just in time as production is set to roll in a few weeks. The film revolves around a case of mistaken identity after the world’s deadliest assassin (played by Harrelson), known as the “man from Toronto,” and a stranger, played by Hart, run into each other at an Airbnb. Chaos soon ensues as the assassin’s world comes crashing down on Hart.

UPDATE: Jason Statham has exited the project due to creative differences. It is reported that Statham wanted the film to be R-rated while the studio wants to stick with a more family friendly PG-13 rating for the Thanksgiving holiday season.
A search for a replacement is underway as production is set to start in 6 weeks.
