Cate Blanchett drama ‘Indian Summer’ put on hold
News Briefs — Universal Pictures has put plans for one of Cate Blanchett’s next starring vehicles on indefinite hold, Variety reports . Indian Summer , a drama about the end of Great Britain’s colonial control of India, was to have begun filming early next year under director Joe Wright. Blanchett was set to play Edna Mountbatten, wife of the final Viceroy of the British Indian Empire. Budget concerns, logistical challenges, and creative differences with the present-day Indian government are all said to have played a role in the decision.

Variety writes that Wright has decided not to cut the budget down ...

/Film — ... According to Variety, Universal have blamed budget issues for the cancellation, while Joe Wright says that he was trapped “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”. In truth it was a little of both - with a budget under $30, Working Title could have greenlighted the movie with no veto allowed by their Universal overlords. ...
