The "Green Inferno" movie, which is slated to come out on September 5, has been taken out of Open Road films' playlist for the month. Sources say that behind-the-scenes disputes are to blame for the sudden change.

Deadline revealed that scheduled worldwide release of the cannibal horror-action flick resulted after Worldview Entertainment, the financier, decided to cancel former CEO Christopher Woodrow's agreement to shoulder costs for print and advertising.

According to Cinema Blend, when Woodrow abdicated his post this year, Molly Conners, the newly appointed CEO, suspended all his commitments, including the advertising for the "Green Inferno" movie.

This development, as reported by Deadline, puts Elli Roth at a disadvantage. Because this is his first movie after a six-year directorial hiatus, this comes as an unpleasant surprise.

Although Open Road films has confirmed the cancellation of the September 5 release date, they made no mention of a new date yet, nor did the firm comment anything when asked if "Green Inferno" movie will forgo cinema showing and be directly released on video.

Under the management of Conners, Worldview Entertainment is conducting investigation of every transaction Woodrow made. Elli Roth's film is not the only deal that they put on hold. Deadline also shared that among the cases caught in the snare is a lawsuit Hoyt David Morgan filed against the company.

Despite getting busy with cleaning house, the firm remains in operation. The scrapping of the "Green Inferno" release date, which is less than a month away from now, had nothing to do with the film itself.

Open Road got the movie after it premiered at the Midnight Madness 2013 in Toronto where it received a strident response from viewers. For now, the film outfit has two options: they could wait for Worldview Entertainment to finish their investigations and then discuss a new deal; or they can search for a new partner to cover the cost of P & A, suggested Cinema Blend.
