In an X post this morning, the film’s leading man Will Forte has now out about the status of the project and it doesn’t sound good:

"I know that a lot of you haven’t gotten a chance to see our movie. And sadly, it’s a looking like you never will. So I was thinking what everyone else must have been thinking: this thing must be a hunk of junk. But then I saw it, And it’s Incredible.

[It’s] super funny throughout, visually stunning, sweet, sincere, and emotionally resonant in a very earned way. As the credits rolled, I just sat there thinking how lucky I was to be a part of something so special. That quickly turned to confusion and frustration. This was the movie they’re not going to release?

Even when a movie tests very well (like ours), there’s no guarantee that it’s gonna be a hit. And at the end of the day, the people who paid for this movie can obviously do whatever they want with it. It doesn’t mean I have to like it (I f----- hate it). Or agree with it. And it doesn’t mean that this movie is anything less than magnificent.

You would be so proud of it – a movie that should be seen, but won’t. Please know that all the years and years of hard work, dedication and love that you put into this movie shows in every frame."

      All we have to show for it are a few photos, this video shared by Stephen Price, the composer, and a video made by the crew which gives you a real taste of what we’re missing.
