Cast: Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine and Tom Hardy

Synopsis: Two top CIA operatives wage an epic battle against one another after they discover they are dating the same woman.

Release Date: February 14, 2012

Since appearing on”Mad Men,” Abigail Spencer‘s career has been picking up steam. So has the casting for McG‘s This Means War. With Cowboys & Aliens under her giant Western belt buckle, she’s ready to join the action comedy. The film stars Chris Pine and Tom Hardy as two friends who both fall for Reese Witherspoon. However, they are both super-spies and their duels for her affection reduce the city to rubble.

Spencer will play Hardy’s ex-wife. Angela Bassett will also appear as the boss of both Pine and Hardy. I like this cast. And the premise could be fun. I don’t know what to expect from McG, so I’ll hold my judgment for the time being. I’m just so fearful we’re going to see Chris Pine surfing on a jet. Or worse, riding two sidewinder missiles like skis. (THR)

Another actor has once again jumped McG‘s This Means War ship. Sam Worthington was set to duel with Chris Pine in the project, but the Aussie actor has peaced out and Brit Tom Hardy has taken his place. Now Hardy and Pine, both Star Trek nuuuuurds, will go after each other black-ops-spy-style while also vying for the hand of Reese Witherspoon.

I’m a huge fan of this pairing. Tom Hardy’s performance in Inception was one of the most enjoyable parts of the film, and Chris Pine proved he can hold his own in the Star Trek reboot. Watching these two fine actors go head-to-head with spy sh*t could be an exhilarating match. Especially if McG scores the scene with a Prodigy "Firestarter"/Usher "Daddy’s Home" remix. (Vulture)

^{FIGHT!! FIGHT!! FIGHT!!}

The threat of seeing a Seth Rogen topless scene has been squashed… for now. Last we heard about McG‘s This Means War was that Seth Rogen and Chris Pine were up to play two former spies who destroy New York City whil fighting for the hand of Reese Witherspoon. Now there’s news that Chris Pine is on-board and Rogen is out, with the part now being offered to Sam Worthington.

I think this could be pretty interesting casting. Worthington has mastered squinting in front of a green-screen, so let’s see what he does with a comedy. Though I am a little worried for Sam. He’s making far too many movies and I’m afraid he’s not getting enough sleep. How is he supposed to deal with the strain of keeping an American accent if his tongue doesn’t get enough rest?

Seth Rogen and Chris Pine are being considered for the role vacated by Bradley Cooper in This Means War. Makes sense seeing as they’re all pretty much the same guy. If you’re squinting really hard.

The romantic comedy tells the story of two best friends who compete for the affections of Reese Witherspoon and leave New York City decimated in their wake. Because if there’s one thing that New York City is lacking in, it’s women hotter than Reese Witherspoon. One the one hand, Chris Pine fits the heart-throb bill better than Rogen. Yet on the other, Rogen’s packing the right equipment should director McG decide to include a topless scene. I could see this one going either way. (The Wrap)
