The
adaptation of Graeme Simison's book The Rosie Project has seen better days.
After Jennifer Lawrence's departure, it's now Richard Linklater who has decided
to pack things up and leave. His reasons are unknown, but Lawrence was due to scheduling
as according to sources the actress needed a break after shooting and promoting consecutive
projects including X-Men: Apocalypse, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2,
and Passengers.
The
Rosie Project follows a socially challenged yet charming genetics professor called
Don Tillman who comes up with a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to
find the love of his live. However, objectivity is thrown out the window when
Rosie Jarman, a swearing, smoking, and chronically late bartender appears, and
though she doesn't fit any of his criteria he can't help but fall for her.
Linklater
wasn't the first director attached to the project, which counts with a script
penned by (500) Days of Summer and The Fault In Our Stars screenwriters Scott
Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street directors Chris
Miller and Phil Lord were originally set to direct but ended up passing on it
to go and helm the Star Wars spinoff centered on a young Han Solo.
The
filmmaker is currently in post on Everybody Wants Some, the spiritual sequel to
his Dazed and Confused, which will hit theaters on April, 2016.
