The Mothership was actually supposed to appear on Netflix last year. As it turns out, we will probably never see the science fiction blockbuster starring Moonfall star Halle Berry – even though the film been filmed for over two years is. There are several problems with the release.
Netflix locks The Mothership with Halle Berry in the poison cabinet
The year 2024 is that studios will simply lock up big films that have already cost millions in production in the poison cabinet unfortunately nothing unusual more. Warner Bros. Discovery recently made headlines because the company decided to cut crazy films for tax reasons.
The best example is Batgirl, which was intended to expand the DC Extended Universe with a new superhero. Now the film is safely stored on a hard drive and the DCEU is history. The Mothership sees the matter a little different as the usually reliable scooper Jeff Sneider writes in his newsletter.
Filming of The Motership took place from June 14, 2021 to August 9, 2021 in Boston, Massachusetts. To release the film would be extensive reshoots necessary. Subsequent filming is usually planned into the production of a blockbuster. Nevertheless, they cost a lot of money.
The sci-fi film fails because of a problem that James Cameron had to deal with with Avatar 2
What complicates matters: The Mothership was filmed with many young actors over the past two years got significantly older are. James Cameron also stumbled upon this problem with Avatar: The Way of Water. Actor Jack Champion had to shoot large parts of the film twice.
Reshooting The Mothership would be complex, time-consuming and expensive. In addition, the post-production of the film is delayed. Based on Sneider’s words, it sounds like Netflix wants the film no longer carry around with you. That’s why the streamer has put the project written and directed by Matt Charman on hold.
When announced, The Mosphership was described as a sci-fi adventure starring Halle Berry as a woman named Sara Morse whose husband has mysteriously disappeared. She discovers one under her house extraterrestrial object and goes on a search for her husband and the truth with her children.
