Вот, что Майк Огден сказал по этому поводу: "QUESTION: Whose decision is it that RA is not attached to film anymore?
MIKE:
Mine.
Reason why is simple
We have an offer of funding
Richard cannot commit to the film thanks to other commitments in TV land. He’s a really busy actor and we needed to make a decision to move forward.
I need Richard for a full 10 weeks and he simply doesn’t have a hole in his schedule for that now
I cannot wait any further and the production has to keep moving so I took a big decision.
QUESTION: Mike, do you have anyone else in mind for the part?
MIKE:
Yes I do and we are approaching him.
I am not telling you who that is but you will have seen him if you are a regular film watcher."
Но что там у Ричарда за другие проекты? Девятый сезон "Призраков"? Запись аудиокниг? Ээээх
