Actor John Boyega has left the Netflix thriller Rebel Ridge mid-shoot because of “family reasons”.
“Rebel Ridge is pausing temporarily as we look to re-cast John Boyega who needed to leave the project for family reasons,” a spokesperson told Deadline.
Boyega recently completed the sci-fi comedy They Cloned Tyrone for Netflix, starring alongside Jamie Foxx, Teyonah Parris and Brian Tyree Henry and will next be seen in legal thriller Naked Singularity.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with John Boyega’s UpperRoom Productions, in addition to our upcoming film They Cloned Tyrone in which he also stars.”
