Eddie the Eagle director Dexter Fletcher has replaced Bryan Singer on the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody after the director unexpectedly disappeared from the film's London set for a number of days and was ultimately fired from the project. Fox made the announcement Wednesday.
The studio let Singer go from the project Dec. 4.
Sources said at the time the decision came amid an escalating clash between Singer and Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek and was caused by the filmmaker going missing from set that led to a production shutdown Dec. 1. The film, which stars Malek as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, has been shooting in London.
