Considering all the people who have walked away from this project already, it’s unlikely there are other interested actors and directors simply waiting in the wings to jump in and pick things up, and even if there were, there’s little point in doing all the work and spending all the money if there’s no distributor to make sure the final product makes it into theaters.
The exit comes pretty close to the last minute, as the film was in full pre-production and was expected to start shooting in the next five weeks.
Needless to say, now everything looks to be coming to a screeching halt.
