Molepeople’s Star and Director Exit; Ben Wheatley Takes the Helm

LaKeith Stanfield has exited the Paramount‑Blumhouse horror thriller *Molepeople*, and the film’s original director Rob Savage has also left the project.

Savage’s departure was attributed to scheduling conflicts, a common excuse in the industry that often hides a deeper clash of calendars.

Ben Wheatley, the English director known for *Normal*, has been announced as the new director of the film.

The studio’s press release describes *Molepeople* as a new horror thriller that will explore the lives of mole‑like beings lurking beneath the city, a premise that remains unchanged despite the creative shake‑up.
