I'm so pissed about this. I hope Halle doesn't get discouraged and stop trying to push the boundaries of Black cinema.

Netflix has reportedly canceled its plans to release a nearly completed sci-fi thriller starring Halle Berry, The Mothership.

According to Jeff Sneider's The InSneider, Netflix no longer plans to release The Mothership, a sci-fi movie directed by Matt Charman that was filmed in 2021. Along with Berry, the movie starred Omari Hardwick, Molly Parker, John Ortiz, and Paul Guilfoyle.

Sneider's report says that The Mothership required "significant reshoots" that Netflix has opted not to move forward with. These reshoots would have been difficult to complete given that the movie stars several children who have noticeably aged since principal photography was completed.

The Mothership also reportedly had a "lengthy post-production process" and "repeated delays," which factored into Netflix's decision.

"A Netflix insider said that such decisions are never easy to make, nor are they taken lightly, and that the streamer was grateful to everyone who worked on the film," the article reads.

This seemingly means that the streaming platform didn't pull the plug on The Mothership for a tax write-off, which Warner Bros. Discovery's David Zaslav has been known to do. Having previously scrapped Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt, Warner Bros. Discovery controversially made headlines last year for nabbing a sizable amount of money after canceling the release of the already completed Coyote vs. Acme.

I hope she speaks about this soon. She was very excited to do this movie.

Her career after Monster's Ball has been something else

I won't lie her career has been topsy-turvy. She's a unconventional black actress that Hollywood has never knew what to do with. 

But Halle has been in some great stuff since her Oscar win, a lot of them just haven't gotten the attention of her past work.

What I find interesting is that we questioned Brandy's Christmas movie being half decent because of the director. Yet a movie starring an Oscar winner, with an Oscar nominated creative team can't even get a release date. I will never judge a film on the names attached ever again!
