UPDATE: Project Artemis is getting a major facelift as leading man Chris Evans has dropped out the project due to scheduling conflict. Stepping in will be Channing Tatum who is riding high off of his box office hit The Lost City.
Jason Bateman is also no longer part of the project due to creative differences. Greg Berlanti, who is best known for producing hit TV shows The Flash and The Flight Attendant, has been named the new director of the film.
