"47 Ronin director Carl Rinsch has been dismissed from the project during post-production, according to a report. The Wrap claims that Universal Pictures has taken the editing of the 3D samurai movie out of the first-time helmer&amp;#039;s hands citing budgetary issues. Sources claim that the project soared past the $225 million mark due to Rinsch&amp;#039;s efforts to incorporate more scenes featuring Keanu Reeves into the movie after filming had wrapped. Universal co-chairwoman Donna Langley is said to be overseeing the editing of the film following Rinsch&amp;#039;s exit. With marketing and promotion costs still to foot, the report notes that Universal may struggle to break even on the troubled venture, despite the studio&amp;#039;s intervention. 47 Ronin has been in development for more than four years, having been announced back in 2008.
