John Boyega Backs Out Of New Film, Rebel Ridge

John Boyega has backed out of his upcoming film, Rebel Ridge. The actor began production on the Jeremy Saulnier film early last month in Louisiana.

According to Deadline, “Rebel Ridge is pausing temporarily as we look to re-cast John Boyega who needed to leave the project for family reasons. We remain committed to Jeremy Saulnier’s extraordinary film and look forward to resuming production. We look forward to continuing our partnership with John Boyega’s UpperRoom Productions, in addition to our upcoming film They Cloned Tyrone in which he also stars.”

No other details had been released and everything looked to be in full swing if one was to judge things based on his social media. Either way, we hope Boyega and his family are doing OK!
