's vault of shame. Warner Bros is not the first studio to bury a film six feet deep. Here are a few more of the worst movies you’ll never see. Until this week, it was hard to look upon the imminent Batgirl movie with anything but a wearied sigh. By all accounts the movie, starring Leslie Grace and directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, looked like another flailing Warner Bros attempt to expand the DCEU in every possible direction without any sort of overarching plan. It was destined to be quickly forgotten, in other words. But not this quickly. Because this week Warner Bros Discovery revealed that nobody was ever going to see Batgirl. Not in cinemas, not on streaming, not anywhere. And this isn’t because it was scrapped during development, either. The thing is finished. It was shot in Glasgow over four months at the start of the year. It had a budget of $90m. But apparently, according to insiders, the whole thing is so terrible that the studio would rather lock it away than let anyone see it. And this is a studio that just released DC League of Superpets, so it has to really stink. This might not be the end of Batgirl, of course. If the last few years have been any indication, then it’ll only take a handful of frothing fanboys and their supporting army of bots to pressure Warner Bros into releasing the Batgirl cut. But if this really is it – if Batgirl really is destined to be locked in a vault unseen until the end of time – then at least it finds itself in decent company. Here are some other notorious movies that have never been allowed to see the light of day. www.theguardian.com/film/2022/aug/03/3d-mermaids-cobragator-and-louis-ck-the-never-released-films-batgirl-will-join-in-hollywoods-vault-of-shame |

So part of the problem with I Love You Daddy is its depiction of an aging director trying to seduce a 17-year-old girl. Yet plenty of people think this was acceptable in Woody Allen's Manhattan. But then that film was made in an era in which it was acceptable to air TV ads for jeans featuring a teenaged Brooke Shields being seduced by older men.

Now i really want to see this movie, because it has to be really bad. That is the only explanation i can think of to why they are doing this.
I mean how bad can it be ?

Having seen I LOVE YOU DADDY (the Oscar screener was leaked to the internet), I can tell you it's an excellent film, and unlike Manhattan in its message* It's a criminal shame that it has not been released. * When the young China (Chloë Grace Moretz) throws herself on John Malkovich's aging rake, Leslie, and wants to have sex, he is horrified and rejects her advances totally. Clearly you haven't seen the film.

How can I movie already 100% finished be cancelled?
How does this make any kind of sense? At least launch it and get some money from it.

I just read a news article saying they had a financial opportunity allowing them to completely write the film off as a loss and take advantage of a huge tax break. But they only had til mid August to decide. So they decided. |

Clearly you haven't seen the film. No, I haven't seen the film; I'm just going by the description mentioned in the Guardian article. I think Louis C.K. didn't deserve to be "cancelled" the way he has been; while his behavior towards female colleagues was undeniably vulgar, his interaction with fellow male comedians was pretty gross as well, in the nature of comedians trading disgusting jokes with one another. I 'm not sure he was intentionally demeaning women in the same way some other male comedians did. I wish I could see this movie. |
