The Mummy reboot will have to go forward with a new director.
Len Wiseman has left the project according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Universal Studios and Wiseman have parted ways citing scheduling conflicts. Wiseman directed the pilot episode for the upcoming series Sleepy Hollow and will reportedly direct several more installments of the Fox series. While this was not specifically cited as the reason, it may be part of it.
Wiseman got the gig due to his ability to blend horror and action as seen in the director’s successful Underworld movie franchise.
Universal is searching for a new director.
