George Clooney‘s Leatherheads, a romantic comedy set in the world of 1920s football, had been set to open on 12.7, but Universal is pushing it back to the spring. April, actually. The Universal guy who told me about this says that extra shooting is currently being planned. He’s also been told “there’ll be new actors hired as well.” Remember, now — it’s not real unless you read it in Variety! No word on why it’s been bumped, but with “new actors” being hired it ‘s not hard to put two and two together.
