Creative differences have forced Dredd director Pete Travis to exit the production. The story broke on the L.A. Times' 24 Frames blog and came from three anonymous sources. When asked to comment on the story, no one associated with the production would go on record.

The Times' sources state that the directing job has now fallen on the shoulders of the movie's screenwriter, Alex Garland, who is also one of the film's producers. The story goes that Garland has now stepped up to the task so completely that he might ask for a co-director credit from the Directors guild of Great Britain, though that hasn't been asked for just yet.

Nothing else was speculated as to the precise reasons why Travis decided to not finish the movie.
