Indian Summer cancelled
Atonement director Joe Wright's planned movie about the last days of colonial rule in India has been cancelled by film studio Universal.
The decision to scrap Indian Summer was mainly due to budgetary constraints, according to Variety.
The film was to star Cate Blanchett as Edna Mountbatten, wife of Lord Mountbatten - the last Viceroy of India.
Wright and Blanchett will reportedly remain attached to the project for the foreseeable future.
The British director said there had been differences between the film's producers and the Indian government: "We were in between a rock and a hard place. The Indian government wanted us to make less of the love story while the studio wanted us to make more of the love story."
