GFM Films announced today that Dominic Cooper will take over Henry's role in Stratton, after creative differences led to him leaving the project in May:
Gemma Chan, Austin Stowell, Tyler Hoechlin and Tom Felton also star in the film, which starts shooting next week in Italy before moving to Rome and London.
Simon West is still on board to direct.

Back when Henry left the film, author Duncan Falconer spoke about his integrity and what a pleasure it had been working with him. We know this was a project close to Henry's heart, but also know there are better things to come. We'll be here cheering for him the entire time!
Will be Henry' company part of the production?

Man I'm so disappointed! I'm with you River, I had hoped things could change but I guess not. This film will flop! B movie for sure. It will never make the numbers that Henry would of pulled in. And to the GFM clowns stop trashing Cavill for your bad decisions! That's another thing that had me peed. Ahhhh this blows! There not getting my money that's for sure.

I am with you guy's! I'm upset. Nobody can do Stratton but Henry. It was a project dear to his heart and I already set my mind on Henry being that character! Uhhh so pissed.
DeleteAnd Cooper? Really? Ah no! So not Stratton!
Gfm could bite me! Your not getting my money either.
River!!! Were are you!

Mind you lol...I know Henry walked away and it was a done deal old news, but I had hoped they could work it out.
DeleteJacky
I had that same hope. But Henry has better things moving forward. I just hate all the bashing on Henry, back off Gfm and own up to your bad decisions. Henry is not going to do poor quality films he has integrity.
DeleteCooper is only 5'9 , he's kinda short. And I don't see the Stratton in him. Lame, not going to work! Sorry Cooper but your no Stratton.
DeleteMin
That's very true, 5'9? A bit short. He's not bad looking but he's no Henry. Disappointed Stratton would have been great. Sorry Duncan!
Delete5'9 ? Uggg a short Stratton, wonderful!
DeleteStratton is going to suck! But I support Henry's decision and we who love him will have his back!
ReplyDeleteHenry has bigger fish to fry. Moving on. Comic Con!!!! Let's focus on the wonderful things that are happening for him! Man from U.N.C.L.E anyone?

That is very true. I agree! Henry definetly has huge projects coming up and I stand by his decision. Can't wait for MFU!
DeleteThanks Hcn for the update!
Nance
That's right! - Thank you as always everyone for your Henry support. x
DeleteCooper!? I am too lat, but he is good in Mamma Mia, but he has poor appearance!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I don't see him as Stratton. He's not Henry that's utterly obvious. Not for me.
DeleteI read the novel Falconer recently . Stratton appears as a loner . Unfortunately, those people who have influence on the cast, sometimes do not understand that the most important things are fans opinions.
ReplyDeleteSurely Mr. Cavill looks for other projects. Much more interesting. He has got plenty of time.
Absolutely agree. Fans opinions matter. We are the ones that will go see the film! In which this case we won't. Not interested in Cooper as Stratton so good luck with that.
