Relativity Studios’ executive VP of production and development Richard Potter has exited the company, TheWrap has learned. A source close to Relativity confirmed Potter’s departure and told TheWrap that a replacement is expected to be named shortly. Potter will continue to consult on select projects at the studio. Potter wrote on Facebook that “Relativity is making changes and this is one of them. It is not a contentious split in anyway.” He later deleted any mention of Relativity making changes, though there has been movement in the company’s executive ranks, as it recently hired Tommy Gargotta as president of theatrical marketing.

Exclusive: Riddick helmer David Twohy has been tapped to direct time-travel pic Replay at Relativity, I’m hearing. This is the previously untitled sci-fi script that the studio snapped up in July from screenwriter Joe Gazzam, who sold action-thriller Shadow Run to Sony and is scripting the Cliffhanger remake for Neal Moritz and StudioCanal. Story tracks Tyler Vaughn, a test subject in a quantum experiment who’s sent four days into the future, only to discover his son has been killed and he’s been fingered for the murder.
