The 49-year-old actor is known to have left the project after demands of cutting his fees by half, said a newspaper.

With low sales of the movie at Cannes the producers were looking to trim the budget of the film to a USD 60 million range. The film is based on Boston mob kingpin Whitey Bulger and his close relationship with FBI agent John Connolly.
