News on the Gambit film has been light as of late since August of 2016 when Doug Liman left the project. Now Liman is opening up about his decision to leave the film, and the term ‘creative differences’ seems to the reason he is using as to why he left the project. Liman spoke with LRM about his decision to walk away from Gambit. “I’m all about the script, and I just wasn’t feeling it,” he confessed.
“I’ve gotta connect to the script. On Bourne Identity, Matt Damon was always referring to himself as a ‘script whore,’ and I’m with Matt on that. It’s like, you feel the script, that’s everything. We make movies because we want to tell great stories. The Wall started with a contest Amazon ran, and Dwain’s script rose to the top, and then it got handed to me.”
Who knows what will happen with the Gambit film as it looks like the issues are glaring within the production of the film.
