Katherine Heigl (Killers) has left Lakeshore Entertainment’s Adaline in order to spend more time with her adopted daughter.
Word is there was some acrimony involved, however both camps continue to deny this.
Lakeshore Entertainment partner Gary Lucchesi said of the situation:
“She has made two movies with us and we certainly support her decision […] We were scheduled to shoot mid-March and we hope to achieve that. We are great fans of hers and if this is what she has to do, we respect that.”
Adaline centers on a woman who should have been killed in a car accident, but was resuscitated by a simultaneous lightning strike that physiologically locked her in her late 20s.
Andy Tennant (The Bounty Hunter) is attached to direct, while Angela Lansbury recently signed on to play the lead characters daughter.
Deadline reported this.
