Back in late 2021, Halle Berry starred in and made her directorial debut with Bruised, a sports drama that was released exclusively to Netflix subscribers. Although met with mixed critical reception, Bruised ended up hitting the #1 spot on the platform, and the X-Men actress had intended to follow it up with a sci-fi movie called The Mothership. However, word’s come in that Netflix has scrapped this next feature’s release despite already filming it.
Originally reported by Jeff Sneider, THR has confirmed that The Mothership, which filmed in 2021, will not be completed because Netflix decided not to move forward with the “extensive reshoots” needed to complete the movie. With this decision, the streamer is pulling the same kind of move that Warner Bros. Pictures did with Batgirl, Scoob! Holiday Haunt and Coyote vs. Acme, with those three movies also having been scrapped (for tax write-off purposes) despite completing filming. However, Coyote vs. Acme is now being shopped around to other distributors following public outcry, though that doesn’t appear to be an option for The Mothership.
