No word yet on any possible replacements.
The news comes two weeks after Sony announced the movie's release had been pushed back from July 2010 to December 2010, a rep for the studio confirmed to Access Hollywood at the time
It's not the first shakeup to sting the film. Stephen Chow - previously set to both direct and play the role of sidekick Kato - exited the film. Jay Chou stepped into play the role, while Michael Gondry is now on board to direct the project.
