Is any of this description new? Specifically, I can't remember if we knew the part about the young actor telling his story to an interviewer. Do you think Taylor was to play the interviewer?

I think we know that Chastain is playing the interviewer. I don't remember how we know that though, but I believe that I read that somewhere. I remember reading that Dolan didn't think anyone else could play the part written for Taylor. I imagine it's supposed to be a handsome, brooding character. I can't imagine that this part has been cut since it was one of the main characters. I wonder who is playing the part now.

Jessica is supposed to be a journalist. And I think in the process of interviewing Kit's character it comes out that he's having this pen pal relationship with a much younger actor and it turns into a scandal.
There were rumors that Nicholas Hoult was leaving the project as well, but I haven't seen any confirmation on that as of yet. |

And it looks like confirmation that Nicholas Hoult has also dropped out of the project. Dropping like flies. I wonder if scheduling conflicts were a big issue.

They kept pushing the film back so I'm sure it conflicted for many of the cast. Either that or they weren't happy with the script or something??? I'm still dying to know who is taking Taylor's part and what it was! Ugh. Amanda -Tweet at Dolan again and ask! haha

Reports have described Jessica as playing a tabloid editor, which means she's probably the one who exposes the pen-pal relationship. But from the above article, I'm guessing the "interviewer" is a different character.
Wow, I just found this article from 2014: Quote:

I would like to know who is replacing Taylor and I get a sneaking suspicion that it's the guy who is in Orphan Black. It seems like Nicholas might have had a pretty large role in the film so something big must have happened to have him pull out. I also saw pictures of Natalie Portman recently and she looks pregnant...I wonder how that will effect her role. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out and who is playing who. I can't wait to see Jessica in villainesque role. She plays a hard ass in Zero Dark Forty and I loved her in that. |

It'll be a whole new movie once it's recast...

For Dolan's sake (and Jessica and Kit, whom I love), I hope Nicholas Hoult leaving isn't a sign the project is, in fact, in trouble. But if it is, I'm glad Taylor got out early. Nick's a hot property right now, though, so hopefully he just had to drop out, like Taylor, because of scheduling. Xavier must be bummed, either way.

I'm going to imagine that it's probably more a scheduling issue than anything. It was supposed to film in the Spring and got pushed back almost four months. If both of them had smaller roles it would not shock me to hear they pulled out for something else that came up.
STILL holding out hope that Taylor was supposed to film this fall and it's in conflict with something we don't know about yet, like he's filming Pieces. |

FYI, it seems Adele is out of the project as well now too. She seems like a scheduling issue as well as she is touring at the moment. But I do have to wonder if three big names like that all dropping out of the project isn't indicative of something else going on.

Poor Xavier. Maybe he was too ambitious, recruiting all these big names without a studio to help keep the schedule on track. Adele might be the biggest loss yet, since it was supposed to be her big acting debut.

I guess Xavier was asked if he'd be submitting John F. Donovan to Cannes next year and said no, critics thought this was in direct correlation to the fact that his current movie was given a tough reception by critics at this years Cannes even though it then won like the second overall prize at the festival.
He clarified that it won't be submitted to Cannes because they'll still be shooting the movie until June of NEXT year. Yeah, June 2017, they'll still be shooting. Not surprising that some actors had to drop out. |
