McGraw pulls out of movie
"I had to back out," McGraw told Chicago's US99 radio station, according to The Boot. "We had all signed up to do the movie and we all had our schedules, and then my tour was going to start ... And then, as movies do, it kept being moved back and back. And the movie's being filmed in South Africa. It ended up, we would have had to move 28 shows. The numbers for what they would pay me to do this movie, and the numbers for what I would make and what it would cost to do 28 shows were nowhere in the same ballpark. So, I had to back out of the movie; times are tough, man."
The movie was about a C.I.A. agent played by Ryan Reynolds, charged with transporting a crook (Washington) with a bunch of assassins in pursuit. McGraw was going to play a spy.
McGraw, was in "The Blind Side" most recently. He will be in "Dirty Girl," due out in August with Milla Jovovich, Williams H. Macy and Dwight Yoakam.
McGraw started his Emotional Traffic tour earlier this month with Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.

CD reviews for Tim McGraw
Tim McGraw's collection, "Here on Earth," finds the country star sounding peaceful and down to Earth. He's more meditative than overly active, throughout. It's very much an adult album in that McGraw is speaking from the perspective of maturity, rather than pretending he's still a young man. If he's got any barbecue statins on his white t-shirt, he's not letting on here.
McGraw burns through five mellow tracks before he gets to anything with a discernable beat. ...
Tim McGraw said of his 14th studio album, "Damn Country Music," "It's is all about passion, (taking him back to 1989) "when I came to Nashville to chase my dreams."
Country music has richly rewarded him over the past two decades, and he honors the genre's tradition here. The album gets off to a very traditional start with Celtic folk. The flute and skillful acoustic picking on the opener "Here Tonight" bring a Mark Knopfler tune immediately to mind. ...
The banjo comes first out of the speakers, the opening strains of "Overrated," the lead-off song on Tim McGraw's latest. But with a "1-2-3-4" count, the mood changes and goes for a more modern country approach. McGraw does about the same on the follow-up "City Lights" with Michael Landau's steely, but rocking lead guitar taking over near the conclusion as it does later hard on "Sick of Me" where the protagonist contemplates a need to turn his life around. ...
