Under the Boardwalk (upcoming film)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

It looks like this animated film's release may be in limbo. There are barely any sources about the production of the film (production was done between 2020-2021 according to Twitter) to begin with. A release of July 2022 was to happen, but did not. There's not even a cast list officially announced, much less a a new release date. The best outcome would be to draftify this for now. Most of the page sources are primary or WP:UGC, because really that's all that can be found.  Mike  Allen   23:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Keep they talk about it in the Hollywood Reporter and the other RS listed, it might not be a "thing" yet, but it's had enough coverage for now; could even be an article about a film that never happened at some point in the future. Oaktree b (talk) 00:17, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * There's been nothing in the trades for two years. IMDb Pro and Variety Insights don't list any updates since July 2022  (and that was to update to say it had been take off of the release schedule). Look, I know it says articles for deletion, but I am not trying to get the article deleted, only moved to a draft (if possible) that it can still be worked on if news of a release ever arrive.

 * Comment: There is nothing on ParamountAnimation.com.  This link is dead, but you can read the archive where it only gives a release date of July 22, 2022 and a one-sentence synopsis.  This customized search engine from Project Film that includes the top reliable sources for films/TV doesn't show any significant coverage.  Mike   Allen   01:25, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plenty of reliable sources.  NYC Guru (talk) 06:15, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: I think the film has been officially cancelled. 69.165.146.227 (talk) 18:19, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * It's been made at the very least; nothing wrong with keeping an article about a film in development hell; in fact a redirect/merge to List of media notable for being in development hell should be considered and once it gets scheduled, this subject can be in its own article anew to preserve the sources we do have.

 * That's not a valid merge target. The criteria for List of media notable for being in development hell specifies "This article lists notable examples of media projects that were or have been in development "for at least ten years after their first public announcement before release without being officially cancelled...'
