The movie was originally directed by Lasse Hallstrom (A Dog’s Purpose), who is reportedly unavailable for the reshoots due to scheduling issues but will remain involved with post-production. The additional material has been penned by Tom McCarthy (Spotlight) and the reshoots are expected to last 32 days in total.
