According to The Hollywood Reporter, Director Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) has officially withdrawn from Showtime‘s series adaptation of the video game series Halo.
Scott Pennington will executive produce alongside Killen and Wyatt, along with Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank for Amblin Television.
Wyatt was supposed to direct multiple episodes of the series and was also set as executive producer.
“It’s with great disappointment that changes to the production schedule of Halo prevent me from continuing in my role as a director on the series,” Wyatt said.
