Elizabeth Olsen loses her onscreen Romeo

Actress Elizabeth Olsen is seeking a new lover following the news her Romeo has pulled out of the Classic Stage Company's off-Broadway production of Romeo & Juliet.

Finn Wittrock has withdrawn from the play to make a movie and producers are scrambling to find his replacement.

Wittrock's departure comes as two major names are added to the cast - Oscar winner William Hurt will portray Friar Laurence and former Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight has been cast as Mercutio.

The play will open in New York on 16 October (13).
