LaBeouf claims that he decided to leave the production because he didn't think the actors were given enough time to rehearse.

In an August 24 cover story for Variety, Wilde opened up about LaBeouf's departure from his film for the first time.

“I say this as someone who is such a fan of his work. His process didn't fit the ethos I demand in my productions.

They have a process that, in some ways, requires a combative energy, and I personally don't believe it is best suited for performance.

I believe the best way is to create a safe, trusting environment for people to do their best work.

Ultimately, it is my responsibility to the production and the cast to protect them. That was my job,” Wilde said.
