"Producers are hoping it helps make them back their investment and stay open for another extension because Michelle didn't do the box office they were hoping for."

In fact, the insider tells RadarOnline.com that The Help actress was the director's first choice anyways.

"There's going to be a massive campaign around Emma," the insider added.

"She was Sam Mendes' first choice, but had to drop out because Sony wouldn't accommodate the dates with Spider-Man 2."
