That is sad news. I was very surprised because it seemed like they were all looking forward to working together. But since Peter Jackson picked Mark Wahlberg as his second choice, it must be because Ryan gained too much weight. I guess they both saw the character different in their minds. And since production was beginning soon, there was no way that Ryan could lose that weight. I don't really think it's Peter Jackson's fault (neither Ryan's though). It's his movie and he wants it the way he sees it. And he's the boss. It's just really sad because Ryan is a great actor. But thankfully Ryan has made a name for himself and doesn't depend on that movie.
