The film version of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies really just cannot catch a break. From having countless director and lead actress woes since it was first announced that it was going to be getting the film treatment it finally seemed to have an upswing. Lionsgate picked up the recent director of the Fright Night remake, Craig Gillespie, to take the lead on this project. While everything seemed to be going well, Deadline has reported that Craig has just dropped out of the picture.
The split was apparently amicable and just a disagreement over casting decisions.
I may be wrong but I believe this was the third director who has left the project? First was David O. Russell who wrote the script followed by Mike White. There have been so many people leaving the project at this point that I’ve honestly lost track if there was another director or not.
