Director Joseph Kosinski recently explained the change, telling People: âIt happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use. There were two or three storylines that ultimately didnât make it into the final cut. But Simone, sheâs an incredible talent, incredible actress, incredible singer, and I would love to work with her again.â
