Steven Spielberg will no longer direct “The Trial Of The Chicago 7“, reports MovieWeb.
Sacha Baron Cohen had been persuaded by Spielberg to play political campaigner Abbie Hoffman in the film, which is based around eight Vietnam protesters accused of inciting a riot at the 1968 Democrat party convention.
Producer Walter F. Parkes explained that the director had quit the project due to the WGA strike and his commitment to the upcoming “Tintin” film.
