A spokesperson told Deadline, “
Rebel Ridge is pausing temporarily as we look to re-cast
John Boyega who needed to leave the project for family reasons. We remain committed to
Jeremy Saulnier’s extraordinary film and look forward to resuming production. 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.”
We hope everything is okay with
John‘s family!
Deadline also notes that the replacement will likely be cast in the next few days. If you’re wondering, it is very rare that actors exit project in the middle.
