As a result, seven movies have been take off the original list Sony released to the public, including Talladega Nights and Step Brothers, which McKay directed.
Judd Apatow isn’t the only person in Hollywood who doesn’t like Sony’s plan, as Seth Rogen and Adam McKay have expressed their dissatisfaction, too.
The Adam Sandler movies Big Daddy, Grown-Ups, Grown-Ups 2, Pixels and 50 First Dates, as well as the 2015 Goosebumps movie helmed by Rob Letterman, have also been removed.
However, in the days following the initial announcement, Sony adjusted its policy on this initiative and stated that if any directors are not happy with the studio’s clean-up plan, their movies will not undergo such treatment.
