Farrell falls Victim to Washington Sniper...

Irish leading man Colin Farrell has fallen victim to the Washington Sniper tearing havoc in the US as his latest movie Phone Booth as been pulled back from release.

The thriller starring Colin and Kiefer Sutherland is about a sniper and was due for release on the 15th of November.

Hollywood movie executives feel the film's subject matter is too close to the real-life sniper terrorizing residents around the Washington area. "It's one of those coincidences that almost never happen. You don't want it to happen in your movie, and you don't want it to happen to real people," screenwriter Larry Cohen told the Washington Post.

Phone Booth centers on Farrell as a slick New York publicist Stuart Shepard who picks up a receiver in a phone booth to be told by a watching sniper that if he leaves he will be killed.

The $12 million production was directed by Joel Schumacher, who also directed Farrell in Tigerland and more recently in Chasing the Dragon starring Cate Blanchett about journalist Veronica Guerin, was shot in just 12 days nearly two years ago.

In the movie, the sniper keeps a randomly selected Farrell in his crosshairs and targets innocent citizens with his bullets. Officials believe the D.C. sniper is also targeting innocent citizens and selecting his victims at random.

Phone Booth is expected to be given a spring 2003 release.
