Jason Bateman will no longer direct the upcoming “Artemis” for Apple TV+, departing due to “creative differences,” reports Deadline.

Scarlett Johansson is producing with Jonathan Lia and Keenan Flynn through their These Pictures production company, which commissioned and developed the script. Deadline says that “we’re hearing from sources that Bateman and These Pictures amicably and mutually have chosen to part ways on the pic due to creative differences.”
