Actor Bradley Cooper drops out of spy comedy

Los Angeles: Hollywood star Bradley Cooper has dropped out of spy comedy ``This Means War`` to concentrate on the sequel of his hit film ``Hangover``. The film, which stars actress Reese Witherspoon as the female lead, was to start filming sometime this spring, but Cooper`s departure has pushed it back until July.

A scheduling conflict has been officially cited as his reason for leaving the film, since `Hangover 2` is gearing up to start shooting in October this year, reported Variety online. The 35-year-old actor was to play a spy who battles over a woman with his lifelong friend, who is also a secret agent in `This Means War`. Movie bosses are now on the lookout for two leading men after Cooper walked out. Bureau Report
