Seth Gordon bows out of the "Horrible Bosses" sequel





Horrible Bosses was hilarious.  It not only had the perk of being exceptionally funny (the cocaine scene in the kitchen still kills me) but with comedic talents like Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, and Charlie Day the film was a recipe for success.  An extremely hot Jennifer Aniston didn’t hurt either.

Well unfortunately for the cast, original director Seth Gordon will not helm the sequel  LIKE A BOSS.  “Deadline” reports that Green has dropped out of Horrible Bosses 2.  Representatives for New Line Cinema site the ubiquitous “scheduling conflicts” excuse as the reason for the departure.  “Scheduling conflicts” has become as cliché as “It is what it is.”  And to be frank I have to call bullshit on this one.  As Alex Maidy points out, why the hell would you leave a sequel whose original film grossed over $100 million to direct a sitcom?  (Gordon has “The Goldbergs” coming out this Fall.)  Plus with his recent hit Identity Thief, Green is definitely riding a hot streak.  It just doesn’t make sense to me.

Horrible Bosses 2 hits theaters sometime in 2014.
