The motion picture hit a tangle not long ago when chiefs Phil Lord and Christopher Miller dropped out because of “inventive contrasts.”

“Tragically, our vision and process weren’t lined up with our accomplices on this venture. We typically aren’t enthusiasts of the expression ‘imaginative contrasts’ yet for once this platitude is valid,” the chiefs said in a joint explanation Tuesday. “We are truly pleased with the astounding and world-class work of our cast and group.”
Howard has shepherded Oscar victors like “A Beautiful Mind” and “Apollo 13.” But his current movies, including the “Da Vince Code” continuation “Inferno” and “In the Heart of the Sea,” have battled in the cinema world.
