Director Mark Romanek has left horror remake The Wolf Man weeks before filming was due to start.
Romanek, 48, who directed 2002's One Hour Photo, was to have headed up the remake of the 1941 horror classic.
BBC News understands crew members have already been told about the director's depature from the film, starring Benicio del Toro.
Industry paper Hollywood Reporter said his departure from the film was due to a row over its budget.
Universal told Hollywood Reporter: "Romanek leaves behind a well-prepped production that is poised to move forward and Universal thanks him for helping bring one of its most cherished legacies and characters to renewed life."
A spokesperson at the film's production office in Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, was not available for comment.
