Disney's decision to cut Miramax's releases to three films a year, cease operations in New York and reduce its overall budget by 70% caused the movie to be axed, reports MovieLine.
The rom-com, due to star Kat Dennings, concerned the best friend of a woman who seeks out lost belongings from her ex-boyfriend while on the way to President Obama's inauguration.
Linklater, whose pictures include The School of Rock, documentary Fast Food Nation and forthcoming drama Me And Orson Welles, said that the cancellation of Liars (A-E) has left him without "anything coming up".
"It's no longer happening, unfortunately," he added.
