Denzel Washington Gets Off Tony Scott’s ‘Unstoppable’ Train

So what happens now? I’d like to see Scott make the movie for a lot less — get him to do a down and dirty thriller. But that’s not his style. He could walk, and put this back into development at Fox, which has been working on the film for a while. (Robert Schwentke and Martin Campbell were both attached at one point.) The plot is solid enough — a vet engineer works with a young conductor to stop a runaway train filled with toxins — that there’s definitely a solid thriller to be made.
In all of this, the trade reports that Denzel and Scott are still negotiating as they do European press for The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, and that he could end up in the film after all. But at this point, I wouldn’t hold your breath.
