Denzel Is UNSTOPPABLE Once Again

I’m here at Comic-Con ’09 so not much room and time for internet at the moment, so real quick now, earlier this month, it was reported that Denzel Washington decided to leave UNSTOPPABLE project because of salary conflict. “Fox cut a $107 million tab down to $100 million, but wants it in the low $90 million range. Fox asked Scott to drop his fee from $9 million to $6 million, and wanted Washington to shave $4 million from his $20 million paycheck. Washington declined”
Fox’s move was understandable because the recent The Taking of Pelham 123 remake only earned $60 Million
But the two time Oscar winner was willing to reconsider and review the latest draft of the script if Fox was willing to make a different offer

Now variety reported that Denzel Washington has officially returned to UNSTOPPABLE which reunites him with his favorite director Tony Scott, marking the 5th time that they’ve done films together (Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, Deja Vu, Taking of Pelham 123).
With a script by Mark Bomback, Washington would play an experienced engineer who jumps in a locomotive with a young conductor (Chris Pine) to chase down a runaway train carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals and gas enough to wipe out a nearby city.
It doesn’t say how much in dollar amount was given to Denzel to keep him smiling but pre-production is back on schedule in Pittsburgh.
