Gerard Butler's director quits

1 month ago 14th Oct 13:30

Frank Darabont has quit 'Law Abiding Citizen'.

The director has departed the psychological thriller in an "ugly" split, though the reason for his exit - which is believed to have taken place last week - is unknown.

The news of his departure throws the casting of Jamie Foxx into doubt, because although in talks to star as a vigilante in the movie, he had not yet signed a deal.

The movie also stars Gerard Butler as an assistant district attorney who helps a murderer get out of jail with a plea bargain, only to find himself the subject of a revenge plot from the murder victim's husband.

Frank is credited as a co-writer on the script with Kurt Wimmer.

No replacement director has been named.
