Movies Already Cancelled In 2020 (And Why)
2020 has been delayed until 2021.
With the world pretty much at a standstill, the past few weeks have seen a whole bunch of studios making sweeping changes to their movie slate for 2020 and beyond. From high-profile blockbusters to oscar-contending indies, the bulk of the year's most anticipated movies have either been delayed or cancelled outright, with scant few exceptions.
As discussed more in depth in the video above, Sony delayed a slew of their upcoming films to 2021, with the likes of Morbius: The Living Vampire (Sony's latest Spider-Man spin-off) and Ghostbusters now releasing next March. Other studios have been much more optimistic as to when audiences will be flocking back to cinemas, with Wonder Woman, which was originally set for June, now slated for August, while Marvel's Black Widow, initially launching April, has been delayed indefinitely.
It's not just imminent launches that have been impacted though, but a chunk of 2021 films that were either in the process of filming, or were gearing up to start production. The Batman, for instance, has had to postpone filming indefinitely three weeks into shooting in Britain, though no change in release date has been officially announced yet.
The same can't be said for Uncharted though; Sony's troubled blockbuster was finally slated to start filming after ten years in development hell, but now has been pushed back, with its release moving from March to October 2021.
That's just the tip of the iceberg - check out the video above for the full list of movies that have been effected!
