Denzel and Tony Scott's next pairing in trouble?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. The obvious headline for this movie is UNSTOPPABLE stopped? but I refuse to play their cute little game! Plus someone else already beat me to it.

I saw PELHAM and didn't hate it. How's that for a ringing endorsement? But I genuinely liked MAN ON FIRE and I like seeing Denzel Washington and Tony Scott working together. The Hollywood Reporter says their next collaboration, a runaway train flick called UNSTOPPABLE co-starring Captain Kirk (Pine, not Shatner, but how sweet would that be?) might have hit a few budgetary snags at Fox, which put the whole project in jeopardy.

Sounds like the perfect kind of movie for those guys to do, personally, but all I'm going on is the concept and the talent attached. However, I'm sure if Fox is having second thoughts then it must be a really strong project.

What do you folks think?
