‘Just a lot of issues’: Netflix film chief on axing nearly finished Halle Berry movie


The streamer’s interim film head has spoken about the ‘rare’ move to scrap The Mothership, a sci-fi thriller in post-production

Netflix’s decision to scrap a nearly completed movie starring Halle Berry has been described as “a rare thing” during a preview event this week. Post-production on The Mothership, a sci-fi thriller that finished filming in 2021, was scrapped last week with rumours of “significant reshoots” being too expensive and problems over using child actors who have since aged. The news follows other similarly scrapped films, such as the $90m DC adventure Batgirl which was cancelled while in post-production and last year’s reveal that Coyote vs Acme would also not be released despite completion of production.
