Lacking significant coverage per WP:NFF, all sources are based on a press release announcement about the the distribution rights, lacking actual coverage of the production, the content of the film and its impact BOVINEBOY 2008 15:52, 18 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep; The film exceeds the necessities of WP:NFF, which requires sources to prove "Filming has started, it has a set release date, and cast." This nomination is pointless and will most likely result in keeping the article in the mainspace. Cardei012597 (talk) 16:07, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * This quotation is not even from WP:NFF. The guideline states "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles". The converse is not necessarily true. In fact, later in the guideline, it says "Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." This production does not appear to be notable as it has not received any coverage. BOVINEBOY 2008 16:16, 18 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete This is WP:TOOSOON and the sources all seem to be press releases. Theroadislong (talk) 16:25, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Draftify. It's just too soon. There's not really any coverage out there about this film that doesn't stem from the press release or the same period of time. We just need something more here. I even restricted the search so that it only produced results released prior to May 2022 and it brought up nothing usable. Searching for anything about John Travolta filming in Georgia (that was published prior to the announcement PR) brings up unusable stuff as well, as no film title is given and it's just locals mentioning that filming took place. In other words, the film was kept tightly under wraps until it was officially announced, which isn't unheard of when it stars big name actors. All that can be done here is to just wait for additional coverage that isn't based off of the PR announcement. With most films we have to wait until the film releases and the reviews come in, as it's also very common for films to sit on a shelf for X amount of time for whatever reason. (Reasons can range from it being a stinker to the company not being able to obtain a distributor to even just the production company running out of money for that specific film campaign.)

 * While it has since gained enough coverage to justify an article, The Fantastic Four (unreleased film) is a great example of something that was announced quite publicly and then never actually released. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  16:22, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
