Julianne Moore has reportedly been dropped from becoming the face of Turkey's Tourism Campaign, due to her "poor acting".

According to the reports, the 54-year old Oscar winning actress, had shot a promotional film in Los Angeles last year titled, 'Home Of', where she was seen revisiting her childhood journeys to Turkey, but the Culture and Tourism Ministry rejected her "poor" performance and asked for a re-shoot, which she has refused to do, E! Online reported.

Meanwhile, the Turkish Culture and Tourism ministry officials have declined to release any official statement on the 'Still Alice' star's cancellation.

There was a loss of 1.5 million dollar due to the cancellation of the 4 million dollar project, revealed the owner of 'Iconisus and I Mean It', the advertising agency behind the campaign.

It has also been reported that choosing Moore to become the face of the campaign had caused controversy from the beginning itself and many prominent figures had opposed her role and even slammed her "depressive persona".
