6 Movie Mistakes Spotted Before Release
5. The Green LEGO Is A Lie (It: Chapter One)
Some movie mistakes don't just rock film fandom, they rock the entire planet. No, seriously. This was the case in 2017, when LEGO fans the world over started rioting in the streets after discovering a blunder in the main trailer for It: Chapter One.
In said trailer, there's a quick shot where lead character Bill drops a LEGO set on the floor after being startled by a vision of his dead brother, Georgie. This set featured several 2x2 slopes in lime green, but as pointed out by LEGO superfan Nathan Wells, this piece wasn't released until 2010, whereas the movie was set in 1989.
Acknowledging the fact that the film was now a complete disaster and could no longer be released under any circumstances, producer Seth Grahame-Smith responded to the controversy with "we're cancelling the release until further notice", which, of course, never happened. The bloody liar!
We're cancelling the release until further notice.

Fortunately, such a calamitous error didn't drag down the movie's reception, and it was a critical and box-office smash upon its release less than two months later.
