In what has been a surprise move to many, Paramount has rescinded its distribution rights for the feature The Little Prince just before its US debut.
Director Mark Osborne confirmed the news on Twitter that the studio had withdrawn its support of the feature starring Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Paul Rudd, Marion Cotillard, Benicio Del Toro, James Franco, Ricky Gervais, and Paul Giamatti.
Based on the 1943 novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the feature film will instead be released later this year by another studio. The story follows a narrator who meets a young prince who has fallen to Earth from his tiny asteroid, and deals with philosophical themes like human nature and life itself.
