Looks like delays stemming from a potential labor strike (according to IMDb) or the size of the production (according to other news reports) have caused the $130 million-budgeted film adaptation of Robert Harris’ Pompeii novel, to lose director Roman Polanksi. No matter the reason, the film was delayed and Polanski says his schedule doesn’t permit him to continue as director.

I will admit, I have a soft spot for Dante’s Peak. Yes, I know. Why, you ask? Well, because it was mindless fun! That film and Twister, too. So anyway, when I heard Polanski (not who I’d expect for a film like this) was gearing up to helm the Pompeii movie, I was excited and intrigued.
