Deadline is reporting that due to personal family health-related issues, director David Yates dropped out of his upcoming project, a possible fifth collaboration with
Harry Potter star Emma Watson in the screen adaptation of Emma Forrest's
Your Voice in My Head. The film was set to begin shooting this summer with Emma portraying journalist and author Forrest, whose memoir chronicled her near-suicide and mentorship with a former psychiatrist. At the moment Emma Watson is still confirmed to portray Forrest, though no word has been released on who will replace Yates.

Yates was going to do the film with his Potter star Emma Watson and wanted to postpone, but the writers and producers didn’t want to wait.
