The actor was thought to have quit the film due to 'creative differences', but PageSix has claimed that Jackson sacked him after tiring of his behaviour.
Mark Wahlberg has since signed up to replace him in the role of grieving father Jack Salmon.
A source told the column: "Peter couldn't stand Ryan. Ryan cut his own hair, and was fighting with wardrobe. He was so demanding... Peter booted him two days before filming started."
The film, which also stars Rachel Weisz, is an adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel about a murdered girl who looks down on her family from heaven. It is scheduled for a 2008 release.
