The Gambit movie recently lost its second director and the release date has been yanked. The Gambit movie seems indefinitely delayed as Simon Kinberg recently offered an update
The Fox Studios Channing Tatum Gambit movie has lost its second director.
Following Ruper Wyatt leaving Gambit, Doug Liman boarded the project, but now Liman has set sail for greener pastures over at Warner Bros. for the DC movie Justice League Dark.
Variety reports Doug Liman left Fox on good terms and it’s considered a mutual split.
The news of Doug Liman departing Gambit shouldn’t be all that surprising as Fox recently yanked Gambit from its release schedule; in addition, Channing Tatum has taken on other projects.
Simon Kinberg recently gave an update on the delayed release of Gambit citing the movie needed more time to develop and to get the tone right (via Slash Film):
I think the truth is when you have these movies that need a very special and unique tone, it takes a little while to find that tone…’Deadpool’ feels like it exploded out of nowhere, but it was a 10-year development process on that movie. I think it was honed over those 10 years.
I hope that ‘Gambit’ doesn’t take 10 years, but it takes a little honing to get that tone and that voice exactly right. The character has such a specific voice in the comic in the same way that ‘Deadpool’ has a specific voice in the comic, that we want to make sure that we capture that voice on the page. Really it’s just about getting a screenplay that is worthy of that character, and I think we’re really close right now.
Gambit was originally going to be released some time in 2018.
With the animated Justice League Dark movie coming out, many speculated that spelled the end of the live-action version, but it’s learned that is not the case.
Variety reports the live-action Dark Universe (Justice League Dark) movie is moving forward with Doug Liman attached to direct, with Scott Rudin producing, and Michael Gilio writing the script.
Doug Liman was previously attached to the Fox Studios Channing Tatum Gambit movie, but will no longer be directing that film.
Plot details are being kept under wraps about Justice League Dark, but it’s described as a “dark Justice League team that consists of John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna and Etrigan the Demon.”
It’s further said Justice League Dark will play a major role in the new D.C. Cinematic Universe.
Guillermo Del Toro was at one time up to direct Justice League Dark, but the report notes he got busy with other projects, with Rudin breathing new life into the project. Scott Rudin produced No Country for Old Men, The Truman Show, Ex Machina, The Newsroom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Social Network and many more films.
Swamp Thing test footage recently hit the net for a live-action Justice League Dark movie as well.
Matt Reeves most recently played Constantine in the DC TV universe, which has been said to be separate from the DC movie universe. Colin Farrell was at one time rumored for Constantine.
No actors have been announced for Justice League Dark and WB has yet to officially announce the project.
We get an update on the X-Men movie universe from Simon Kinberg at the recent 2016 Saturn awards.
Kinberg offers news on Wolverine, Deadpool 2, a new main X-Men movie, New Mutants and Gambit.
“We’re figuring that out now,” Kingerg responded when asked what’s next from the X-Men franchise. “The first thing up, we’re shooting the Wolverine movie right now, and we start shooting Deadpool 2 at the beginning of next year, and I sit down and start writing the next one of the mainline X-Men movies real soon.”
On New Mutants, Kinberg offered:
“I can’t tell you what the roster is, but I can tell you who the director is, which is Josh Boone who directed Fault In Our Stars,” Kinberg said. “We have a really good script and hoping to shoot that real soon, too. It’s very loyal to the comics. I’ll leave it at that.”
While the release of the Channing Tatum Gambit movie has been delayed, Kinberg says he hopes to film next year.
“Yeah. We have a great script on that and hope to shoot that movie at the beginning of Spring of next year.”

A few weeks ago saw the Channing Tatum Gambit movie pulled from Fox Studios’ release schedule with the reason cited due to script rewrites.
Now while doing press for X-Men: Apocalypse, writer/producer Simon Kinberg confirms they are still working on the script and hopes Gambit will film by the end of this year or at the beginning of 2017.
Via Flicking Myth:
“We’ve got to get the script right. We just didn’t get the script to the place where we all thought the movie deserved. So we’re still working on the script. We’re very close, actually, to being done with the script. And the hope is that Channing [Tatum] has a couple of movies he has to shoot, but that we would shoot at the end of this year, or the beginning of next year.”
“It’s looking really good. I’m not going to say anything about it content-wise. I think one of the things that I’ve learnt on all these movies – and maybe the lesson was best learned for me on Deadpool – is the most important thing is getting the tone and the voice right. That the storytelling, the actual narrative, the plots are sort of interchangeable and disposable, ultimately.”
“…we’ve really tried to do with Gambit is make sure that we get the voice of that character right and the tone of the comics 100% on the page. It’s a very unique tone. It’s unique from Deadpool, it’s unique from the X-Men. It’s a heist movie that we’ve never done in these kinds of films before. He’s a con-man. And so that’s really where we’ve spent our time.”
“There was a moment when we were going to shoot the movie at the beginning of this year, and then we felt like it just wasn’t ready. Knowing, hoping, that Gambit is like what Deadpool was – the start of a new franchise within the X-Men universe – we want to make sure we get it right.”
Following the news that Fox pulled Gambit from its release schedule, now it’s known why as the Gambit movie is delayed due to rewrites.
THR reports the Gambit movie was supposed to start filming, but the start of production has been pushed back until the end of 2016 due to the script rewrites.
Now with Gambit getting delayed it’s also reported director Doug Liman is in negotiations to take on another gig, The Wall, a psychological thriller set up at Amazon Studios.
Channing Tatum is still set to star in and produce Gambit; however, now THR’s report says Lea Seydoux as the female lead is questionable because she came on board when Rupert Wyatt was attached, and it isn’t clear if Seydoux will be involved with a new director on board.
Fox also hasn’t announced a new release date for Gambit.

It’s being reported that Fox has pulled Gambit from its release date schedule, and that Gambit presently has no new release date.
Gambit was originally set for an October 7th release of this year and was scheduled to begin filming next month.
Fox has also scheduled two new untitled Fox/Marvel movies for an October 6, 2017 release and a January 12, 2018 release, respectively.
It’s possible Gambit could take one of those dates.
Another possibility is that Deadpool 2 could be released on one of those dates — as the movie is a huge success, Fox may want to get a sequel out as quickly as possible.
The newly announced Predator movie has also been given a March 2, 2018 release, and Fox has given Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant a new release date of August 4, 2017.
Fox’s schedule also includes X-Men: Apocalypse on May 27, 2016, and the untitled Wolverine movie on March 3, 2017.

A local New Orleans ABC affiliate is reporting the Channing Tatum Gambit movie will start filming in March.
“The superhero flick, Gambit, starring Channing Tatum has pushed production to March of this year,” the video below reports.
Gambit is being directed by Doug Liman for an October 7, 2016 release, with Léa Seydoux rumored for the role of Bella Donna. The script is written by Josh Zemuter, based on a treatment by Chris Claremont; Channing Tatum, Reid Carolin, Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg are producing.
Simon Kinberg previously described Gambit as a “heist movie and a sexy thriller in a way.”
Fox also recently released an X-Men universe cast image, which features Channing Tatum (see below).
