The Boston Marathon bombing movie has parted ways with director Daniel Espinosa after his new movie tanked on box office.
- May 23, 2015
AceShowbiz - "Boston Strong" is facing a potential setback as Daniel Espinosa drops out of the movie. The Swedish director who previously directed Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds in "Safe House" leaves the project due to "creative differences."
Espinosa's exit from the Boston Marathon bombing film came on heels of the box office disappointment of his new movie "Child 44" starring Tom Hardy. The period Soviet drama cost $30 million but only managed to collect $3.3 million worldwide so far.
"Boston Strong" is adapted from a book of the same name by Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge about the Patriot Day bombing in 2013 that left three dead and many others permanently wounded. The film will follow the aftermath of the horrible incident and the city's healing process.
