More problems are hitting the production for 'Gambit' as director Rupert Wyatt has dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. According to
The Hollywood Reporter, a changing script caused the film's budget to be larger than expected, extending the shoot, and prompting the push. Shooting schedule around Mardi Gras also caused the reshuffling. Either way, it became a conflict for Wyatt, who had to exit.
"I was very much looking forward to working with my friend Channing and the team at Fox, but regrettably a push in the start date now conflicts with another project," said Wyatt in a statement.
"I thank them for the opportunity, and I know that Gambit will make a terrific film."
The movie was scripted by Josh Zetumer, based on a treatment by Gambit co-creator Chris Claremont. Tatum, Reid Carolin, Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg are producing.
