‘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.
