TNT's Snowpiercer director quits after blasting the new showrunner's "radically different vision"

The Hollywood Reporter

Scott Derrickson, who directed the initial pilot, announced his exit via a tweet Friday afternoon that he won't return for reshoots. "The 72-page Snowpiercer TV pilot script by @Josh_Friedman is the best I've ever read. The feature-length pilot I made from that script may be my best work. The new showrunner (Graeme Manson) has a radically different vision for the show. I am forgoing my option to direct the extreme reshoots."
