De Niro replaced by Kilmer in 'New Orleans'

Hollywood star Robert De Niro has reportedly pulled out of forthcoming film 'New Orleans' - only to be replaced by his 'Heat' co-star Val Kilmer.

De Niro was due to team up with rapper/actor 50 Cent in the Charles Winkler-directed movie, about a police officer who uncovers a trail of deceit and corruption in the police force as he searches for the killer of his former partner.
