25 Huge Movies Disney Just Cancelled

12. Echo

Another intriguing sci-fi project that's now no more here thanks to Disney. Echo would have been an adaptation of Christopher MacBride’s science-fiction thriller, which Variety linked George Clooney to as director back in 2018. The story follows a drone specialist who has a psychological crisis after suspecting that his lover is not who she appears to be and wondering whether she has been replaced.

Sounds your typical paranoid sci-fi thriller and seeing Clooney directing anything is always a bonus, particularly after the success of his Catch-22 miniseries. He hasn't done sci-fi as a director yet, but he has just been announced for Netflix's Good Morning, Midnight based on Lily Brooks-Dalton’s novel, so it wouldn't have been entirely unprecedented.

Sadly, it looks like Fox's loss is Netflix's gain again.
