Rachel McAdams In Talks To Replace Reese Witherspoon In Sci-Fi Love Story Passengers — cinemablend.com

And now there�s a good chance we�ll get to see the actress take on another love story with a sci-fi twist, as she is currently in talks to join a space bound Keanu Reeves in The Weinstein Company�s Passengers.

Unfortunately, the upcoming production will take place in Germany, and Witherspoon had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts, according to Deadline.
