I'm not convinced this meets our notability criteria. I've removed a lot of promotional and BLP stuff and only after doing that did I search for recent discussion of it. I can find very little to none in the last year, and I note that the funding is crowd-sourced. This article may have been created in order to aid that. I'm also confused about the release date, in the article 2016 but says 2015 - perhaps lack of funding has postponed this. Dougweller (talk) 17:47, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Pardon me Doug, but crowdfunding has far less to do with notability than does coverage... no matter the topic. Just saying.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 04:39, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete as premature since filming has not started and is not guaranteed to, per the notability guidelines for future films. If filming does start, we can reevaluate the topic to see if it meets the general notability guidelines. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 20:06, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to director Kevin Reynolds (director) for now as being just a tad TOO SOON for its own article. Project is "in development" and yes, due to title, returns a great number of false positives. But as the topic of this project already meets WP:GNG and is receiving coverage in such as Christian Post, The Guardian, Variety, Patheos, Inquisitr, Hollywood Reporter, Movies in Focus, Slashfilm, Huffington Post, Daily News, Coming Soon, JoBlo, Deadline, we can certainly consider reversing the redirect when the project begins filming.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 21:12, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with a partial merge. Reviewing the article's page history, it looks like development started around March 2012, so that's over 2 years languishing in development. So we should not have a stand-alone article that pretends a film is about to happen. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 21:30, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Different film productions move at different paces. We both remember other allowed articles on film topics that were in talks and discussions and pre-production for years before ever getting made. The importance toward determining if notable enough to be written of somewhere within these page, even if never made, is the coverage... and THAT we have with this topic.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 21:48, 3 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Userfy - Considerable work has been done on the article, so that it should be available to move back to article space if and when the film is completed. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:40, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Userfication is fine before redirecting the title. This saves the article and its history for undeletion when it is decided that breadth of its consistent coverage ,  meets WP:GNG and shows WP:NFF (paragraph 3) as met.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 00:57, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
