“London Fields” has been removed from the lineup at the Toronto International Film Festival due to a lawsuit director Matthew Cullen filed against the producers earlier this week.
The decision comes a day before the film starring Theo James, Amber Heard, Cara Delevingne, aimie Alexander, Billy Bob Thornton and Jason Isaacs was set to premiere.
“We have recently learned of a legal matter that has arisen between the director and the producers of the film ‘London Fields,’” a festival spokesperson said in a statement to the media. “We have worked to make our festival a public showcase for creative expression through the moving image, however with uncertainty surrounding the creative vision of the version of the film scheduled to be screened on September 18th, we feel it is only appropriate that we remove this film from the Festival lineup.”
