Henry Cavill

Bad news for Simon West and his movie STRATTON, as Henry Cavill is believed to have pulled out of the project just a week before filming was meant to start.

The director will now be under pressure trying to find a suitable replacement for Cavill before production commences – a very tight squeeze then! 

If the movie proves to be successful, it could be the first of many films in a franchise based on books by ex-serviceman Duncan Falconer; the first one is based around John Stratton – a special forces operative who works with MI6 to shut down a global terrorist cell.

Screen Daily has reported that the MAN OF STEEL’s exit is down to not being able to make changes he had suggested to the shooting script and this theory has been backed up by these comments from Guy Collins, co-founder of the film’s financiers GFM Films: “[Cavill] told us he has decided not to shoot this script at this time.” He continued, He had a different vision of what the film should be to us and the production team and wanted to delay production until September and shoot a different story and script.

Cavill and his brother’s production house Promethean Productions had set up the project – so a delay whilst further agreements are made seems inevitable.

Here’s hoping they find a replacement soon and a new casting will be announced shortly.
