FULL STORY
======================================================================

It looks like the image above is the only frame you'll see of the Halle Berry 
sci-fi movie The Mothership. While filming wrapped some time ago back in 
2021, the movie is no longer coming to the best streaming service . 

According to Variety , Netflix has decided to cancel the movie "after 
multiple delays in post-production" prevented its completion. PEOPLE magazine 
adds that one of the problems was that it required reshoots, and those 
reshoots needed to bring back child actors who have grown visibly older since 
their scenes were originally shot. 

This isn't the first movie in recent years to be canned after filming was 
completed. Warner Bros. has wielded the ax against the $90 million Batgirl 
movie, the amazing-looking John Cena comedy Coyote vs. Acme , and the 
Scooby-Doo movie Scoob ! Holiday Haunt . Halle Berry is still making movies 
for Netflix 

PEOPLE has checked with Berry's, er, people to confirm that the star is still 
working with Netflix on other previously announced projects including The 
Union , formerly known as Our Man From New Jersey , in which she stars 
alongside Mark Wahlberg in a "high stakes US Intelligence mission". The film 
is part of an ongoing partnership that began with Berry's directorial debut 
Bruised , a sports drama about a disgraced MMA fighter reconnecting with her 
son and reclaiming her mojo. 

It does seem like this particular cancellation was due to circumstances 
beyond anybody's control. There's not a lot you can do about child stars 
growing up unless you want to run the risk of falling into the uncanny valley 
with digital de-aging , a process that still costs a fortune studio execs 
reportedly spent $100 million digitally de-aging Harrison Ford for Indiana 
Jones 5 to mixed reviews and produces imperfect results. But it perhaps says 
a lot about the state of the streaming movie industry that our reaction to 
the news wasn't just "oh no!" but "oh no! Not another one!". You might also
