Just a few weeks ago we reported that filming of “Motor City”, starring among others Gerard Butler and Adrien Brody, was to commence in mid-September in Atlanta, well now it seems as if plans have changed.
According to Deadline, production of “Motor City” has come to a halt after the film’s backers have realized that the March 31st release date would be impossible to meet. Here’s how a spokesperson for the pic’s producers and financiers explained the decision to postpone production:
“Faced with the realities of a very short post-production schedule and complicated visual and special effects, the producers have decided to push back production on Albert Hughes’ “Motor City”. We are dedicated to delivering top-tier productions such as 2 Guns starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg which is currently in production and Peter Berg’s Lone Survivor which is in pre-production. The circumstances surrounding this project made it impossible to meet the firm March 31st delivery date without compromising the quality of the film.”
While it doesn’t seem as if the film’s producers have completely given up on the project, the future of the movie will all depend on the availability of the cast members when they do decide to continue with the project.
This isn’t the first time “Motor City” has hit a bump in the production road, so the project may yet survive. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as more information becomes available.
