Mothership

Первые кадры в превью Netflix

Though fans have grown used to hearing about movies getting cancelled and scrapped as a means for a tax write-off by the studio, Netflix's cancellation of The Mothership appears to be for a different reason.

 

According to Jeff Sneider, The Mothership was slated to have major needed "significant reshoots" which would have been both expensive but also somewhat impractical. One big factor in making those reshoots difficult is the fact that the film has young actors among its principal roles, who have grown up quite a bit in the 2+ years since filming wrapped.

 

Sneider also noted that the cost of the reshoots wasn't the biggest factor but that its extensive delays in completing post-production were partially to blame as well.

Похоронен без на то скандальных причин. Жесть. Очень интересно узнать, почему 2 года не могли выпустить

А что случилось?

А что случилось?

Нужны дорогостоящие пересъемки, а главная проблема в том, что актеры-дети за 2,5 года заметно повзрослели.

Тут наверное пришлось бы снимать фильм заново, дешевле его отменить.

Дааааа, омолодить кучку старперов для Скорсезе, шмогли.

Тут не шмогли.

Кто будет заморачиваться с дорогостоящим омоложением для проходного кинца с Берри?

Другой вопрос, неужели отснятый фильм настолько плох, что его нельзя выпускать?

Вот да, реально. Неужели наснимали говна?

А главное, где тот, который изначально должен был сказать, наснимали говна

Вот и подтверждение

Netflix will not be releasing Halle Berry’s sci-fi adventure film “The Mothership,” the studio announced Wednesday. The studio cited the film’s lengthy post-production process, saying the film could not be completed, as the reason for not moving forward. Berry will next star in “The Union” for the streamer.

 

“These decisions are never easy or taken lightly and we’re grateful to everyone who worked on the film,” the studio said in a statement.

 

The InSneider initially broke the news.

Why Halle Berry’s Netflix Film ‘The Mothership’ Got Axed

It didn’t set off nearly the online uproar as did Warner Bros.’ decision to dynamite its $70 million Coyote vs. Acme action-animation hybrid, but another high-profile movie was recently, much more quietly, dumped. Netflix has grounded The Mothership, a Halle Berry sci-fi thriller directed by Oscar-nominated Bridge of Spies co-writer Matt Charman. The $40 million project started filming during the pandemic in 2021 and ran into one snafu after another — scheduling conflicts, reshoots, strikes and, most recently, continuity issues brought on by growth spurts among some of the children in its cast. During a Jan. 31 news conference, Netflix content chief Bela Bajaria cited “lots of production issues and story issues” for shelving the movie and insisted that “everybody just felt like it was the right thing to just not do it.”

 

A source tells THR, however, that there may have been another reason Mothership got axed: Its biggest champion, film exec Lisa Nishimura, abruptly departed last year during a C-suite reshuffling, leaving the project marooned without a benefactor.

 

Berry, of course, will be fine; she’ll be starring in another Netflix film, The Union, a spy caper due in August. Charman will be good, too. THR has learned he is set as showrunner for In the Room, a Netflix thriller series starring Suranne Jones that enters production this year. Says the insider about The Mothership, “It’s a total bummer result — but with all this love and good feeling around it — and there’s just disappointment that audiences ultimately are not able to see the film.”
