The 51-year-old director has parted ways with the upcoming DC Comics tale, which is also known as 'Dark Universe', in order to focus on his adaptation of Patrick Ness' 'Chaos Walking', which is scheduled to begin production later this year, Variety reports. Despite the filmmaker's departure, the movie will still go ahead, with Warner Bros. currently in talks with other directors to take over the project, and Michael Gilio writing a new draft of the script. 'Dark Universe' follows an undercover superhero team comprised of occult characters such as Detective John Constantine, Etrigan the Demon, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Shade and The Changing Man.
