‘The Mothership’ Writer-Director Matt Charman Lands First Netflix Project Since Halle Berry Movie Was Axed


'The Mothership's Matt Charman and Suranne Jones are behind Netflix show 'The Choice' after Halle Berry movie was axed.

EXCLUSIVE: The Mothership writer-director Matt Charman has landed his first Netflix project since the Halle Berry movie was axed by the streamer, Deadline understands. Halle Berry-starring sci-fi title The Mothership was close to completion in January of this year before it was axed by the streamer, a move that has become commonplace in Hollywood of late but rarely by Netflix. Netflix was quick to point out the “very rare” nature of the move, which content boss Bela Bajaria stressed at a press conference the following week, adding that there were “lots of production issues” and “everybody on both sides, the talent and us all, just agreed that it was better to not launch it.”
