10 More Completed Movies You Will Never See

10. The Mothership

Matt Charman had a rough start as a first-time filmmaker since his directorial debut, The Mothership, has been scrapped.

In this sci-fi thriller, Sarah Morse (Halle Berry) discovers an alien ship under her house one year after her husband mysteriously vanished. It's hard to say what happens in the plot after that, since the whole thing was scrapped in January 2024.

Despite all the time and money invested into the project, Netflix interim officer, Bela Bajaria, felt it was in everyone's best interest to put The Mothership to rest.

Even though movie cancellations are frustrating, the reason behind The Mothership's dissolution is understandable. The powers-that-be decided drastic reshoots were needed during post-production, since many pivotal scenes weren't coming together for one reason or another.

Now, that's not a great reason to terminate a whole film by itself.

However, there was another glaring issue. The Mothership spent so much time in post-production, that the child actors were noticeably older than when they shot their scenes. The higher-ups weren't willing to splash out more cash to reshoot the majority of the movie, which in-turn spurred Netflix to cut its losses.
