At the end of January, we told you about Netflix’s cancellation of the sci-fi film The Mothership with Halle Berry. That’s (still) rare for a movie that’s already finished shooting… but if the people involved in the movie are to be believed, it’s for the best!
It’s always surprising to see that a film that’s finished shooting and is supposed to go into post-production never ends up seeing the light of day. That’s the decision Netflix made last month for The Mothership, and the reason it did so was to be able to take advantage of tax deductions.
At a press conference held last Wednesday, Netflix officials revealed that the cancellation of the film was the result of a decision between its stars, producers and the platform itself. Entertainment Weekly.

He did not give further details, but added:Everyone thought it was right not to fire him and then do something else together“.
Entertainment Weekly attempted to contact Halle Berry’s representatives, who did not respond to requests for comment.

Reminder, Warner Bros. was the first major studio to make this decision by suspending three nearly completed films: Coyote Vs. Acme, Batgirl and Scoob: Holiday Haunt.
In The Mothership, Halle Berry played a mother who finds herself suddenly widowed and struggling to raise her children after her husband mysteriously disappears.
A year after her disappearance, she discovers an alien mothership beneath their farm, leading her and her children on a wild adventure in search of answers and the missing creature.
